Still the same quality of responses:
1944. Amy Cox Are you kidding me? You went from a kick @ss station to Spanish music. Quit catering to the illegal immigrants. Your station is located in America and it should play good old American music, like it used to.
2011. Jim In Baltimore I wish every Infinity employee to rot in hell with the rest of the Mexican scum of the earth and the only thing that mourns them is their fleas.....and my all of their daughters become inpregnated by illegal Mexican immigrants and pollute their family trees
Perhaps the pettitions should be name only.

"Changing the format of WHFS can be compared to changing the name of the White House: absolutely ridiculous."
???!!!???!!!

i much prefer this petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/StopAsh/petition.html)

I don't know what is funnier: That people actually care that WHFS is gone or that they think a petition can bring it back...

I'm sure one or two people out there appreciate your efforts, but they're going to go for naught. You're not the first people to think you've been wronged by Infinity or Clear Channel, but others that were far more organized then this lot failed miserably.
I'm also sorry to hear about your internship being gone, but see this as an opportunity to get out and see the rest of the world, what other opportunities the music business can afford you away from Southern Maryland. There's a great big world out there if you just dare to leave the nest. So stop associating yourself with these folks and start building a career for yourself in the business where you can really make a difference.

maybe they just want to show thier support. sure it wont change the decision, but it may show everyone that there IS an audience, and Infinity or someone else may bring it back in another form.
not protesting, signing a petition is admitting defeat and letting it happen, who wants to do that???

3691. Drew Adams to hell with el zol, bring back the junks and hfstival
Bring back the junks indeed.

Well, HFS Got Shut Down Once Before And Came Back :-) . And The Junks Are Replacing Bill O'Reilly On JFK 12-3 I Believe.

How long have you been on the board? Have I ever been afraid to voice my opinion?
My point is that this is not an organized fashion by which I would be participating. Joining a bunch of immature teen agers in an method of intolerant protest is actually more likely to decrease your credibility than it is to help your cause.
-
I think we've got "The Junks" mixed up. It used to be a phrase which meant awesome, cool, excellent, etc.

true. unfortunately there is no organized group! i am hoping these kids who can write racial slurs on the internet, may be better behaved when the cops are staring at them during a protest.
i have overestimated people many times before though

Right around 1995 HFS stopped being the junks.

is that a northern VA slang term? i have never heard that? is that like calling people "joe"
all my friends from NOVA used to do that nonsense.
-
I'm not from NOVA, and don't forget it. It was used when I went to Middle School in Montgomery County. Peeps also called folks "Joe."
Let me put it this way. Montgomery County's Cap City, NOVA's Springfield. Don't make me go Cap City on you.

An audience of immature racist idiots, according to those signatures.

O'Reilly is locked into a binding agreement on JFK,don't think "The Junks" are taking his spot...maybe back to cable access where they belong....

"junks" or "jonx" or "junx" or "juon" are all variations i've heard, joe.
moco in the hiz-nouse. k-town for life. representing the 'ington.

I am sure Infinity doesn't care about whether they are racists. They just want to make money.
they are going to say "sure we could make a lot of money, but those people aren't nice"
besides, I wouldnt say most of them are racists, just immature.
I will say that it is hard to relate to the Hispanic population around here. its not like other minorities so much. they usually stick to themselves, speak no english and dont want anything to do with you.
if they turned HFS into a hiphop station, i dont think you'd hear as many "n-bombs."
-
Is that like the Quebecois?

The Hispanic men seem to want everything to do with my wife, and my previous girlfriend too.

But not everyone has the resources to leave home/college and take off for a likely unpaid internship in another city...
Has anyone heard much about community radio? There's an independent media thing in DC that is supposed to offer things involving it; I just heard of it last week --- indymedia.org (http://www.indymedia.org/) --- click on the DC section. They haven't gotten back to me so I don't know much about it, but it might be of interest for someone wanting to learn.

Then how do all these people keep ending up in DC for 6-months to 2 years?
Believe me, it can be done if you want it bad enough.

As a hispanic female, I've had plenty of white men say inappropriate things to me throughout the years. Does this cause me think that white men are fuckers? No of course not, I just think those particular guys are assholes.

how many times do I have to say it... you can't get more mainstream than what HFS was. Listen to DC101... at least they don't pretend not to suck.

I've heard some of the rich white kids at my no-blacks/hispanics-allowed high school in bethesda saying that. It was lame then and its lame now.

You're wrong. All Hispanic men are sexual predators looking to steal the white woman from the white men. ;)

i like this petition:

Infinity would never go back now. Too embarassing. They would never admit a mistake. At least we as fans don't load our cars up with C4 and blow ourselves up in front of their offices. This forum and the petitions let people blow off steam and really voice their opinion. In two weeks it will all be over and another station will take up the slack.
What I really will miss is HFStival. Lets petition XMRadio to host this year's festival. Call it SquizzFest or something like that. They are home grown, it would be great publicity for them and possibly rub Infinity's nose in it!

Yeah, it's much better to use fertilizer and diesel fuel and then run away like a chicken.
The format change has really brought out the McVeighs around here.

Looks kind of like a Middle School field trip for a Social Studies class.
