WHFS is now......a salsa channel?

speaking of 94.7, another Infinity-owned station - some time in 2003, if i recall the date correctly, they hinted on-air that they would be turning into a spanish music station the next day. for that one day, a lot of their between-song segues were in spanish, and one of the dj's said something to the effect of "i know a lot of you are wondering what is going on, but all i can say is we're not really sure ourselves, but we may have details soon." nothing changed, though.

Don't fret, there will still be stations to hear U2 and Gwen Stefani when you visit DC.

And you will never get your Alt-Country radio station in DC, and that was exactly my point.

Good riddance. They were cool twelve years ago.

times are a changing and hopefully this will open a door for a new channel to grasp a new audience and change music and radio in Baltimore and DC for the better

let's try getting a decent college station in the area first…dc has a handful of universities and no decent college radio? at least none that i can find on the dial. (and WAMU doesn't count!) the closest college radio station to even be mentionable is in harrisonburg, va. pathetic.

There *is* a really cool alt. country station in DC – XM 12

And there is also a really cool college station here…. XM 43

Just like the way cable and satellite TV didn't spell the end of network TV, Satellite Radio and MP3 Players are not going to spell the end of broadcast radio.

did anyone happen to be listening (or know anyone who was) at the exact time when the format switched over? were they playing the killers and then in the middle of the song it changed? could be sort of funny.

and as for college radio, the UMD station, WMUC, is really good. unfortunately, it's hard to pick up even in certain dorms on campus.

They are the end of terrestrial radio.

This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end, spelled:

something!!! maybe it wont even be one station, but maybe a few stations will fluorish, if even for a short time, and then new ones popping back up. it could be exciting times for dc/bmore radio ahead!

the best thing that goes with the hfs is the hfstival… why you ask? because the hfstival is nothing unique. most major markets have some sort of radio festival in the spring and winter, meaning several "it" bands are out there selling their wares. now if some savvy local promoter would come and cherry pick the best of those bands and put on his own festival, at say merriweather, life could be all good.

Agreed. I've heard and been introduced to a lot of great stuff on WMUC. The reception is terrible but it can be streamed online.

It used to be, though. Not many other large festivals had the Afghan Whigs on the bill.
