That made me giggle, thanks!

Even WRNR isn't worth the time of day anymore for most people on this board nowadays.
 
 Come on, any station that plays "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows needs to go away, I say.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  What song was playing?  
 
 ohhhhhhh.......then some white dude goes whfs, annapolis
 
 then thousands of confused alterative teens hear..........la ciudad capital esta nueva rapido capital! noventa y nueva uno!!
 
 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i just tuned in out of curiosity.
 
 wow, that's pretty bad. they're not even playing salsa...just really syrupy ballads.

I still fail to see why this is a good thing.  Even if you think WHFS sucked, this opens the door for DC101 to shove crap like Three Days Grace, Crossfade and Future Leaders of the World down people's throats without having to worry about someone else horning in on the Washington D.C. rock market.

The only reason that I can find to mourn WHFS's demise is that it was one of the few non-Clear Channel stations out there. I'm firmly convinced that CC is the bane of good music today and the reason we're being fed so much homogeneous crap.
 
 My biggest fear is that we'll start to lose out on some decent concerts. Will bands like the Scissor Sisters play DC on their first national tour? Or will they bypass us and concentrate on bigger markets where they might actually get some airplay?
 
 F**k Clear Channel...   :mad:

I (as well as others, I'm sure) would be interested in your take on these events for the DC music scene, if you've got a spare minute.

Breaking news: they put cd players in cars now. You don't have to listen to the radio at all. People that listen to crap are going to listen to crap anyway, no matter who is doing the shoving.

wow...for once, i really agree with rhett. sheep will always be sheep.  and people who are on this forum that really "love" RnR shouldn't have been listening to HFS in the first place, at least not since the early 90s.

Relax.  So you think just because a station that was playing Linkin Park and Good Charlotte all day goes off the air, all of a sudden all these acts are going straight for Baltiomre and Richmond?  Not likely.  DC is still a huge market for any up and coming or big act to ignore.

hear hear!! i have had my car stereo/mp3 player for 3 years now, and i havent programmed ONE single FM channel in it yet. and i dont plan to.
 
  (i have AM1090 and AM1300 though)
 
   even XM radio sucks.  get an mp3 player and you listen to what you want, when you want.

it wasn't a planned format change, Pancho Villa and his merry men stormed in on horses and sheep and slayed everyone in sight and took it over themselves.

i've never used satellite radio so i'm not going to knock it or pretend i know much about it, but one thing i like about fm is that it kinda gives you a bond to other people in the area - even if you're complaining that it sucks you still have something in common to bitch about at parties - and it gives you immediate information about upcoming shows, overdoses, whatever.
 
 someone who speaks spanish should call up 99.1 and be like "what the..." or call infinity. as much as most ppl were like HFS SUCKS, IT SHOULD GO! it can be assumed that they meant "be replaced with something better" rather than "hasta el sol siempre!"
 
 but i guess there's nothing we can really do rather than petition for a better station or existing stations to play better music, which probably includes getting off the internet and doing things in person.
