no, i don't work for xm
and it's clear you don't have it, or you'd be singing a different tune.
XM is a total replacement for terrestrial radio. if you have it, you don't go back. period. why would you?
the business model of terrestrial radio doesn't work, they can't program enough quality in a niche and get enough listeners in a given city to support advertising. terrestrial radio has already lost million of listeners to downloading. satellite is the final nail in the coffin.

Jeez, give a guy a chance to take a piss and then correct his mistake.

Could they possibly use the name HFStival and put on a latin artist fest? :-)

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.

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:

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.

Originally posted by Rhett Miller: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.
