Rules are meant to be... changed!

Once again flaunting the no sandals rule at The Academy, ARB Co-Owner/Founder/Chief cook and bottle washer Lindy Thurrell regaled radio students this week with engaging stories of "FCC Rules and Regulations."

Here, Lindy displays an early draft of rules & regs. Now they take up their own federal building in Washington, D.C.

Thanks for the up-to-the-minute info, and for sharing your experiences with us, Lindy!

Frightening Moments on Live TV

Eminem and Rihanna performed their song “Love the Way you Lie” at the Grammys and, well. Let’s just say someone at CBS is going to have #%&@ing difficult conversation with his boss tomorrow for not censoring all of the @#$%ing song.

FYI: CBS could be fined up to $325,000 for Marshall Mather's ummm, creative use of freedom of speech.
