Grand Theft Radio to Live365.com. Originally started by Doc in December '04 to fulfill a dream of creating the ultimate mix of his favorite broadcast influences: SCTV, Dr. Demento, and the playlist of Chicago's 1970s rock 'n' roll powerhouses WDHF, WMET and The Loop... with a dash of Super CFL and WLS, and JMK thrown in, the station soon had an underground following in the Wrigleyville Area with Howard Stern-ish direct appeal to "Lesbians who like smoking pot and listening while playing Grand Theft Auto."
Listener-ship soon increased with marathon live-streaming shows that featured improv comedy, SCTV-type skits and Reality Podcast fusion about the goings on behind the scenes at the station, especially in the soap opera tale of a disillusioned Chicago neighborhood character with no desire to do a show, disheartened by the loss of his girlfriend, the late season collapse of the '04 Cubs, and the Re-Election of George Bush.
That neighborhood character was the basis of the Buzz Fugazi Show, which featured satirical rants about Bush and American politics, and also made Buzz the target of humor as he was bombarded by unwelcome sound effects, cut off in mid-sentence for alternate features, and left on a live mike while he sat burned out and mumbling, not wanting to perform and engaging his contentious producer Doc in small talk.
