Holy crap. No more... Loveline? This can't be! Another station must pick it up quickly.

Right now, they're going to go back to WJFK, even though WJFK doesn't want them...Probably won't last very long. Besides JP has a few things in the works that would be better  :)

Listening to Britney Spears CAN actually lead to the discovery of wider genres.  But only if you live under a rock and have no idea who Britney Spears is.  And listening to HFS can certainly open up your mind, if you haven't been exposed to Offspring and Limp Bizkit (is a roller coaster) a million times, which everyone has, whether they've liked it or not.  The truth about HFS is, they play(ed) the same generic, unexciting music (Offspring and Limp Bizkit) that you hear everywhere else.  So personally, I equated HFS with the Britney stations as far as innovation.  I can actually deal with a fluffy pop station easier.  The robotic, cookie-cutter djs of HFS (and the like) felt obliged every second to dutifully explain how much every new alternative rock band kicks ass, even though it would be some fifth-generation Pearl Jam soundalike.

I feel the same way. Even though it has gotten to be pretty shitty in the last few years, HFS was a big part of my youth. This was where I first heard the Ramones, on HFS in the early 90s. I can't believe I'll never go to another HFStival...and all my favorite DJs, gone... DC will never be the same.

What will become of the HFStival and other decent shows? They weren't perfect by any stretch, but they did have power to bring music to the area. Who can pick up that slack?
 
 I know the clubs are where the best music happens, but kids need a place to see big events...really.

And isn't XM owned (in part) by the Infinity - Clear Channel nightmare?
 
 Two days ago I heard Citizen Cope on HFS - that should've been a clue that the DJ's knew what was coming and didn't care if they followed the fascist play-anything-that-sounds-like-Blink182 rules anymore.

At 9am, I'm listening to Cakes, JP, Lerch, and EB.  And when I left for lunch at 12pm...Spanish???  I blamed it on the fog...what the heck.  But no, it's legitamate corporate BS.  No offense to all those who grew up in DC, but sadly now, there is no quality morning radio show in the DC area.  Take it from someone who grew up listening to stations out of NYC...your airwaves have been reduced to something equivalent to the middle of Pennsylvania minus the country music and adding the political nonsense.  Now, here's my call to Infinity Broadcasting...bring it back or at least create a sports oriented radio channel.  I have a 30 minute commute, and I hear reading the Post (which also is sub par in sports coverage) and driving can be hazardous.  You've totally stuck a knife in the back of the blue collar male, and the 20-something ex-high school jock.
