LA Rock station casualty


Yeah, I know most of us gave up on Rock radio long ago. As a road warrior during the work week, this was a nice break from bad NPR news,Jazz and Classical in the car.

We're  down to one staton. Probably not a good idea to hold my breath until a new statiion appears on the dial.

There are 2 Rock stations in my area and I listen to one or the other daily. We already lost an alt  rock station in my area and I hope the others don’t go the same way. 
I heard that my old favorite local FM rock station (KFOG) changed to programmed music (DJ-free) some time ago. Fortunately, I switched to XM Radio a long time ago. XM is the best $12.99 (monthly) that I have ever spent. I could never go back to FM radio. It’s sad, because I have always wanted a McIntosh MR78. Unfortunately, it would only gather dust on my shelf.

tonykay-at home,the tuning dial doesn't move much on my 66' Mac MR71. Only 3 NR stations-news,Jazz and Classical.

I don't bother with the rock stations at home. The rock stations sound too "processed" compared to NPR broadcasts.

Do you have XM at home? I've never heard it through a home system. I'm guessing it will have a similar "processed" sound.

Our Classical station broadcast is quite good. At least in my system, it's close enough to CD quality.
