This just in-from FOX news
The Chicago crew has lost a great rock station WJMK(104.3) has switched its format from 60's and 70's rock as of last Friday(6/3) My family has grown up on that station. Now I will have to listen to the Drive to get my oldies. It won't be the same

And Miami lost its only rock station a few months back. Satelite Radio and Clear Channel are screwing with our radio stations and that my liege will unfortunately be the end of radio in this country. |

MP3's and sat radio are the way to go. Terrestrial broadcast has been in the shitter for years now. For the most part if it's not

HEY...deejay,and the rest of the Chi crew..............
When I drive thru that area ,theres a station that will play anything..............I MEAN ANYTHING. I half caught it when I was scanning the freqs and heard some old Doors,I think,anyhoo ,so I keep listening to it.....the song ends........and on comes Kenny Rodgers!!  Im thinking it was some kinda joke song,or something like that,then they played some Cure,and then they played ABBA!! I start listining for the joke,but no,they say they will play anything. I heard Megadeath,the Beatles,Madonna and Sinatra ,one after another. Never heard of anything like it! |

Houston lost it's only real "rock" station, Rock 101 KLOL, recently as well (there were other stations kinda close - stations that played newer popular rock, club-ish music, or classic rock only - but this was the only real "rock" station that played *good* rock music from the 60s-00s). It was owned by Clear Channel, and Clear Channel decided that it was in their best financial interests to shut them down and replace them with a Latino pop station. There was virtually zero warning. They called up the guys that did the morning show on a Thursday night, and told them that the next morning would be their last show, IIRC - and it was, after Friday the station was toast. There wasn't even time for a public outcry before it happened. Most people just tried to tune in sometime that weekend and were like, "wtf is this latino crap?". But the community banded together and somehow (I don't know all the details), a station broadcasting from the nearby city of Beamount took over their role and re-hired all of their old DJs (some a few months later, they had to wait out noncompete agreements) and basically rebuilt the the same station culturally, but under a new name, frequency, and management. I believe it all started from discussions on a Rock 101 fan messageboard in the wake of the closing. |

I heard that too-I wasn't listening to WJMK for a while-and I can only speculate that they were at least given a warning! |

That happened to a station here in the D.C. area. It was a decent rock station, been around for over 10 years. One day, NO NOTICE, it changes to a Latin music station at noon. WTF?!

I didn't say THEY WOULD. I can only hope Bonneville isn't anything like Clear Channel. |

Detroit also has a good station that I saw when I was there last year. 96.3 WDVD. Also, in Central Illinois when I was going to East Peoria there was a good Classic Rock station called the Eagle. IIRC it was 99.9. |

No. I listened to the new station today. It was Okay, kind of a mix of all kinds of rock but not worth keeping on the radio preset. |

99.1 WHFS. They are now on 105.7 I believe, but it's hard to pull the signal in from Baltimore. I can get it sometimes on the 3rd level of the parking garage at Tyson's Corner Mall (by the rebuilt wing) at night. |
