Now, I'm really pissed off!!! :mad:
Of all the complete and utter crap that is broadcasted over terrestrial radio, they had to go and remove the one and only show that I had any real care about and listened to on a regular basis. Now I have to go all the way to Charlotte, NC's WBT to listen to Coast To Coast fade in and out of the night sky.
It took them long enough to finally broadcast the show in the Baltimore market and then they did no real promotion for it. Over 500 affiliates and we still can't get a good pick-up of the show around here.
Why couldn't they replace one of the many Country, Hip Hop/R&B, ultra-shit Billboard Pop, Low-Carb "Lite", or extreme Right Wing talk shows that we have way too much of around this damned two bit town?

Looking for some assistance on the subject of Spanish music.
What are the leading Spanish music blogs and sites and publications? I'm researching this subject and am using the Google, but I know there's at least one fan of Spanish music here and I'm wondering what are some of the outlets that cover the music. Little help?

I think you meant to post in the "hutch" thread.

Not on the Spanish music topic (which I know very little about….but like what I hear)
I have often said….DC seriously has the worst radio stations
I heard Gtown at one time had a decent radio station
rumor had it they got caught smoking the stuff that prop 71 was all about and it got shut down (like 25 years ago)
but seriously, why is there no good college radio in this whole area
I kinda thought the 930 club was going to try and do something, but was it only for people who live in 5 blocks of the place?
Terrestrial radio is going the way of the dodo, but it has always frustrated me that I can't get into my car and EVER find something interesting to listen to

I don't think my radio dial has left 88.5 in 13 years.

I prefer 89.3 over 88.5
That said, you can just easily stream any station anywhere with a smartphone and a car adapter now.
The WFMU phone app has quite a few cool features.

We got a great station down here in NC…WKNC. It's the NC State station. Not that it does you people any good.
