No more "triple-Metallica" every hour!

You will hear less Metallica and other hard rockers on the air in Bay Area (until they are old enough to become a regular on classic rock stations) KSJO has been playing rock for 37 years but it has been converted to a Spanish music station. (See Oldest S.J. rock station goes to Spanish format [Mercury News])

Man, this certainly belongs to my list of things happened while I was gone for 2 weeks Whoever says "Metal is dead" must be nodding their heads. :((

Clear Channel, owner of KSJO (and many many other stations in this country), has striked again: I guess they're tired of providing bland programming, so they simply kill off the station.

This is so sad! Now I need to find another station to replace #2 on my preset (#1 is of course KCSM, always.)

[Update: just found out KLOL in Houston and KWID in Las Vegas all went Spanish recently. So this is a national trend. I wonder when CRHK2 will go Mandarin >:) ]
