Jukebox noted that the suckage that is DC radio is canning the last remnants of WHFS music and djs as the classic rock station 94.7 is changing its format to "fresh" (bland mix crap). Amazing that with all the neat types of music in the city that the majority continues to clamor for bland bland bland. Then again, my friends all eat thai but mcD's makes more than all those restaurants combined.

Why is bland so big it eats all in its path? That means the only station left in dc is the douchebag rock station 101. Yeah - party like a date-raping frat boy. Woo.

Local radio stopped impressing me when Teapot Tim went off on his own. At least the Hot Morning Mess seemed like they were having legit fun, y'know?

Now and again EITM can make me laugh, but normally it makes me cringe.

This is why I'll be looking into getting a radio transceiver for my MP3 player...

thankfully there's still WPFW on 89.3fm.
but you're totally right.

RENEGADE RADIO!!!!

Radio is great down here in Charlottesville. I often hear stuff that's already on my MP3 player.

it is sad indeed. although, 100.3 has some awesome classic rock, which is honestly my fave stuff.

I am so, so happy our car plays MP3 CDs. I can get like 9 hours of music on one CD, and the changer holds 5 of them. I put it on "random" and it's just like having my own radio station.

the masses have always been lethargic. the masses have always opposed greatness, because it is beyond them to even comprehend greatness.

Amazing that with all the neat types of music in the city that the majority continues to clamor for bland bland bland.

No. They buy CDs. Download tracks digitally. Have iPods. Use Satellite Radio in their cars. Rarely has a radio station satisfied my music tastes nor the tastes of most folk I know. WHFS never did.

I pretty much stopped listening to the radio after HFS went so abruptly off the air; I was disgusted with the whole situation, and had long been getting sick of radio music, anyway. I had high hopes for 94.7 when it came along, but gave up on it when it started playing less alt/indie stuff and more, to pick an example at random, Led Zeppelin. (Can I really be the only person on earth who finds most of their music grating and repetitive?)

That's why I got an iPod-compatible head unit for my car, and have used that exclusively for all my rocking-while-driving needs. At home it's either iTunes or Pandora. While I'm sad to see the 94.7 that was fail, I'm glad my listening habits aren't affected by it.
