In another blow to the long running TV show, Kimberly McCullogh who has played the role of Robin Scorpio in General Hospital since 1985 from the tender age of seven is leaving the show to focus her efforts behind the camera and fulfill a lifelong dream of being a director.

She initially joined the cast on 1985 and stayed on till 1996 and rejoined the cast in 2005 after appearing on the show on and off in between. The show made headlines in the 90’s when her character Robin was diagnosed as being HIV positive.She will leave the show at the beginning of 2012 after appearing in over 750 episodes of the show.

The announcement of her departure from the show was made shortly after her co-star Jonathan Jackson who plays the role of Lucky announced that he was leaving the show.

General Hospital premiered on the ABC television network in 1963 and is the longest running American soap opera and the third longest running drama on television in American history after Guiding Light and As the World Turns and the world’s second longest running television drama behind the British series Coronation Street. To date the show has had 49 seasons with over 12,400 episodes.

Great Radio Stations

Everyone knows that feeling when they are driving away from home and their radio starts to get that static sound.  Soon, before long, one’s favorite radio station is no longer playing and static is the only option, minus searching for a new station.  It can be a frustrating situation.  It is common to find people who will sit in their car for a few minutes longer simply to hear the end of a great song rather than go into work and miss out on hearing it. 

Fortunately for those who love to hear the radio and listen to music there are viable options even when a radio is not available.  It is possible to listen to 90s music on your computer while streaming it from the internet.  It is becoming common for many radio stations to stream their feed over the internet so they can reach larger markets than simply those who are in range of their broadcast. 

One popular radio media type is talk radio.  This has become a very popular option for many because of the different topics that are covered.  One of the most famous talk radio hosts is Howard Stern.  He is well known for pushing the boundaries and is regarded as a shock jock.  Talk radio spans all subjects and fields, from sports to politics.  NPR, National Public Radio, is a well known radio station that is primarily considered a talk radio station.  It is typically supported by a local university and provides the public with current and interesting news.
