Welcome former listeners of The Rampler on WFMU to the Exit Ramp Forum.

Though I was hoping to continue the show, The Rampler was not picked up for the Fall 2009 - Spring 2010 WFMU schedule.

There are two episodes remaining - I’ll do the show this Friday night / Saturday morning (October 3 - my birthday), and next week, October 10.

The reason for the cancellation, as I understand it, is twofold. First, it’s a very competetive schedule - a lot of very talented people want to get on the air on WFMU. Secondly, The Rampler really is on a very different “wavelength” from the other programming on the station, and so has been having a hard time “fitting in”.

I do think that given time, The Rampler may have been able to be a success at WFMU - but I understand it’s very hard to give a show like mine that kind of time, considering how many other shows are clamoring to get on.

So while I am disappointed, I do understand the decision and I think it may be for the best. Can only bash a square peg into a round hole for so long before it becomes tiresome for everyone involved.

I’ll remain on good terms with the station, and I may be back on the air in some capacity in the future.

With this, my sole remaining “radio” outlet will be The Overnightscape Underground (onsug.com) - which I do plan on continuing (and it’s been going great, and is better than the WFMU show anyway).
