It's Time to Rise Up Against The Establishment.....

..and fight The Man.

So a few months ago my favorite classical station, KRTS (K-Arts) was turned into an 80's music station.
I was crushed. There were only two classical stations in Houston and the other one is Houston Public Radio which broadcasts NPR half of the day.
So gone was Johnny Renfro's Swinging Sundays, the whole musical scores on Weds or Thurs and the classical music I loved to listen to at night while I slept.
About two weeks later, it was no longer an 80s station. It was Spanish.
Yeah, we only have about 16 Spanish stations in Houston. That's ok, though. I'm glad we have that kind of diversity but did we need ANOTHER one?

So, I learned to live with it. Not happily, mind you, but life goes on.

Now, a rock station, KLOL, which has been around for 34 years has changed formats. To what, you ask?
I'm sure you can guess: Spanish

What the hell?? So now we need 18 Spanish stations?

Let's get the rundown here as far as I can see it.
We have one "alternative" music station.
We have a "mix" station.
We have a top 40 station.
We have a classic rock station.
We have a easy listening station.
We have an 70s, 80s & 90s station.
We have a smooth jazz station.
A couple of R&B stations
A couple or Hip Hop stations
Two country stations.
One part time classical station
And 18 Spanish stations (and that's just on FM)

It's hardly fair. I'm not the only one that feels this way. There is a website out there: Bring Back KLOL.
I doubt very seriously Clear Channel will give a shit about a bunch of petitions but it's nice to see someone trying to fight back.

Now, if I can only get some nerds together to get KRTS back on the air.

Okay - I don't normally do this because i am not a nerd...but I will write to them about playing the classics for we a re a nation of barbarians without them. Now, should I write that in English, Spanish, or Greek?

Yeah! WHFS in DC just got nuked, too!

...don't get me wrong, I like Latin music, too, and there was no station that played exclusive Latin music ANYWHERE in Baltimore/DC, but...WHFS was a center for aural cleansing, man! I feel as if a friend of mine has passed on.

Why couldn't they have nuked the B.S. Pop Station. Nobody actually LIKES Justin Timberlake.
