[Scan-DC] And now for something completely different:

Not surprised about the news about Tommy McFly. DC radio is not listenable at all. After Loo Katz got canned, it's been all Tune-In all the time for me. I paid for the Pro Version so I can record audio while I'm asleep for the times I don't have cell coverage and I donate to the stations that give me the most joy (SomaFM's Bagel Radio is like how WHFS used to be 20 years ago, for instance). Terrestrial radio is dead and Sirius XM too for that matter. Every day I hear awesome stuff I've never heard before and would never hear on either Terrestrial radio or Sirius XM. (10/2/18)

So I surfed on over this morning to https://somafm.com/. There are many channels there, not just Bagel Radio. One other channel is SF 10-33, at https://somafm.com/sf1033/. Its soundtrack is "Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco public safety radio traffic."

And that's just what it is. Per Wikipedia, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code, 10-33 means "emergency."

Keep your ears on, good buddy, 10-4. Oh, that was yesterday. Never mind.
