Above the din of cell phone chatter on the Metro-North Railroad comes a plea from LoHud.com readers for peace and, well, quiet in the quiet car:

SHHHHH! PLEASE, YOU ARE USING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION! LET’S ALL BE QUIET!!!! JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOSING RIGHTS!”

— 98.7 Kiss FM. The New York radio station is merging with longtime rival WBLS. ESPN New York 1050 AM will broadcast on the 98.7 FM frequency. What 1050 will become.
So ESPN Radio buys 98.7 Kiss FM. Radio is so different from how I remember it. Gonna be weird without Kiss FM. Radio is turning into MTV.
