Yeah, I guess I'll have to listen to Elliot's cackling all the time instead of just during the Junk's stop sets.

Anybody remember HFS from the early 80's? That's when I first got turned on to them. Damien was so dang hard to understand after his accident, but boy did he play some great music. Homegrown Music, was their slogan, I believe. At that time, their station broadcast out of Bethesda, on Cordell Avenue, right next to the old Psychedelly (sp?), and they had some awesome talent play at that club as well.

Ahhhh. The good ol' daze.

:yeahthat: I started listening in 1990 when I moved here and always liked him.

I also had a crush on Allen Scott's laugh. :lol:

I used to like 103.1 the Underground when they played hard hitting rock. That did not last too long until someone changed the format.

As for HFS, Like nomo, the gardener and lawn maintance crews need something to listen to.

This does suck! Why couldn't they make the spanish station on another station. So what now we are left with DC101. And what about HFestival and Nuttcracker? UFB!!

There are plenty latino stations there that broadcast. personally I think they are dead wrong saying that the latino radio around here was an underserved market- far from it actually because if you go to the 8's and 9's on the dial-they are there- a whole mess of them. :ohwell:

Really? All I get at that end of the dial are NPR, Md. Public Radio, and some Christian stations. The exception is 92.7, which used to be WMJS. I listened for a few mintues to 99.1 yesterday, and its music seems to be more easy-listening than 92.7.

I'm not that upset about the format switch. The real problem with radio is the massive consolidation that began in the 1990s, which resulted in cookie-cutter formatting. Not enough freeform stations like Austin's KGSR, which plays Texas music of all varieties. I'd like to see a DC-area station where local favorites like Root Boy Slim, the Slickee Boys and the late Danny Gatton got regular airplay.

you young people need to find a better cause to start crying in your britches about. I remember back in my day the only radio station I had was 1.1 and all they played was stuff in morris code.

The FCC case log of 1902 reports an obscenity complaint from when Guglielmo Marconi was using Fruitcake Lady to test his equipment. According to the complaint, the airwaves carried Friutcake Lady's moans of satisfaction and her cries of, "Oh Marconi, what a big antenna you have!"
