Kiwi FM

Driving home from work tonight I noted that the radio frequencies previously occupied by Kiwi Fm have been taken over by More FM. Thus ends the first chapter in the Kiwi FM experiment. I'm not sure what it proved, other than that an all NZ playlist radio station was unnecessary, unviable commercially, and generally a dumb idea. I'll admit I believed in it at first, but soon realised it wasn't going to work. Without mythologising Channel Z too much, it's a shame nonetheless that it was sacrificed to this end.

Watching a doco on NatGeo about the origins of 9/11 while I write. The hatred and fundamentalism is depressing. Fundies annoy me, regardless of religion. They are not what religion is about, and pervert it to their own ends.
