Lil Wayne Still Free!

Lil Wayne still remains free after a court house fire!! Wow talk about some dumb luck. When most people face prison time, they pray for a court house fire but for Lil wayne, it just happens. Of course its no secret that Lil Wayne is facing up to a year in prison for weapons possession. My question is, why do all these famous people keep getting in trouble for carrying guns. Or in general just being involved in stupid crimes. Your rich! Hire a body guard! Let them carry the guns. Keep yourself out of trouble. No need to act like a idiot.
American Flop

Can anybody tell me what has happened to American Idol? It was so good when it first started and offered deserving people a path to their dreams. It's really too bad. No doubt about it that Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are the greatest American Idol contestents followed closely by Chris Daughtry. And remember when Taylor Hicks won?? I know he's been out of the spot light since then, but come on.... That was someone exciting to see win because he was like 30. I'm tired of 16 year olds talking about how they've been singing for 9 years.... Yeah I sang when I was 8 too, but it wasn't good. Come talk to me after your voice matures!

Crazy stuff with that Killer Whale..... I guess that's why you don't get near a one ton animal. And the poor trainer; truly awful story. Lets start a movement to set the captive whales free!!!!

Lady Madonna John

Did anybody else catch the Grammys? Very Scary Stuff! I've heard that Lady Gaga is the next Madonna and I would have to say in terms of weirdness she is well on her way. But the thing that hit me the hardest was probably Elton John coming out on stage with the black ash all over his face! I was watching it with a couple of musician friends and we laughed for probably a half hour. That was the funniest stuff I've seen in a while. We gotz to get that video up on this website!

State of Speech Writing

January 28, 2010 - 11:51 AM
While the current State of the Union may be in bad shape in some areas, I would have to say the State of Speech Writing is in great shape! Best thing from the speech???!!! I think we might actually be ending a war that has gone on longer than either World War. Bring Em' Home Prez!
Late Night Debacle!!!
Posted by: Kyle
January 25, 2010 - 11:06 AM
I'm not sure if anybody out there is happy about the late night mix up going on at NBC but I am very sad to see Coco go. What will I do without his genius monologue and happy string dance?! I'll tell you one thing.... The old is... well... OLD! And this is the second time Leno has been fired. Jay should have just stepped aside respectfully and made way for the future. Hmm.... I think there is a lesson for Emporia in all of this!!!!
DOES THIS MEAN NO TWITTER?

As station manager for KISS 103.1 FM, I would like to take a minute to thank all of our listeners and advertisers for a great year in 2009. We accomplished much last year and are looking forward to yet another great year.
In May we successfully moved our studios to our new location on 6th Avenue at 541 Sherman street. Please feel free to stop in anytime and say hello. Kyle has done a super job on programming the station, including new imaging. Our personnel have enjoyed being out and about Emporia over the past year and look forward to the many events upcoming in 2010.
Please take time to visit the many areas of our new website. We have listened to many of you in redesigning the site and think you will enjoy the new look and feel. Be sure and visit our Facebook link and stay tuned to all the happenings in our community.
Thanks,
