I saw a ton of great shows and was opened up to new music, some of which I still listen to. it is a great loss.<br /><br />It's not the same entirely, but more diverse in some ways - try 89.3 the Current from Minnesota Public Radio.BHerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198032206109418828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-13237960196022443202012-05-20T20:36:06.677-04:002012-05-20T20:36:06.677-04:00Profoundly sad.

Clear Channel is a bunch of heart and soul sucking a******s. It's all about independent book sellers, radio stations, etc, and supporting them as much as possible, but sadly, many still can't afford to stay in business. Clear Channel has bought out 2-3 Portland, OR area radio stations too in the last year or so. I don't like to be negative, but it really does make me a little nauseous. Our world is becoming so homogenized... Well. I hope you had a good weekend, Marie, in spite of that news. I wish things had turned out differently!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005482538480063372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-49800458931200687602012-05-20T12:22:12.648-04:002012-05-20T12:22:12.648-04:00What Steve says is confusing.

I really miss those days. It is like watching your favorite little mom and pop store go under because a Wal Mart moved into town. I guess it is inevitable, but dammit, I continue to support the little guys in hopes that we can keep them around as long as possible. I sure hope that what Steve up there says is true. Maybe you'll have WFNX around a little longer.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-81296976913766738242012-05-20T11:59:11.473-04:002012-05-20T11:59:11.473-04:00Update:

I'm still upset about it though because there are enough radio stations out there that play the same s*** day after day and so few radio stations that play quality, independent, local bands. ::sigh::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
