Another explicitly white space shut down.
for later
So, the FCC gets to decide what we are able to listen on our radios?
You’ll like K-LOVE.
I remember when 100.3 first started at Pirate Radio. That was good music.
The Sound was my favorite station. Bummed that it’s gone.
“And in the end...”
Because nobody owns a CD or MP3 copy of ‘Abbey Road?’
Classic rock stations have been selling old rope for money for years. I am amazed that they have survived this long considering listeners could load an iPod with 40-50 songs and have the station’s entire playlist without the bother of commercials.
I don’t even listen to radio stations anymore. I either just listen to music that I’ve downloaded to my phone or to my customized Pandora station. I used to listen to a lot of sports radio but they have gone so full tilt left that I can’t stomach it anymore.
K-LOVE = “Hillsong Barney and the Spasmodic Xylophones”
I don’t even know the station but that’s sad. At least they all had a chance to say goodbye instead of being cut off mid-song.
Out here in the People’s Republik of New York is new station that plays local band, deep tracks, all kinds of great music.
You know that guy that has an amazing collection and is so cool? THAT is this station.
I can’t recommend it highly enough.

In Kansas City, my neck of the woods, while one station playing older rock died out twice as it was brought back, the other is supposedly the most listened to station in the city. I don’t use the radio just the internet. Among the things I have done is Accuradio, revamped and free Live 365 and Napster, formerly Rhapsody, and it’s rival Spotify. But I also have tested IHeart, Radionomy and Tunein.
Ha! It will just be Christian music until they make it hispanic music now. Suckers.
It is a real bummer. I live in SoCal & drive A LOT. If it wasn’t the Dodgers, most of the time 100.3 was on in my car. I’ll really miss them & from the sound of the calls they received in last weeks, many other people will too. KLOS is a poor substitute.
It was all downhill after KMET went new age jazz.
I will miss the sound. But the last A to Z playlist is on Spotify! I have it as a playlist. Listening to it now.
I’m in Texas and have never heard of “The Sound,” but it’s sad to see a good station sold and reformatted. I really like K-LOVE, though; hopefully it will do well in that market.
My favorite radio station story is from the early 90s. A disgruntled DJ at B93 in Austin locked himself in the booth for an entire day or two and played “Hit the Road Jack” non-stop for the duration of his meltdown. I was in high school; we all thought it was hilarious, but a little scary because you knew the guy had gone nuts. It was like a train wreck in that you wanted to change the station or turn off the radio altogether, but you couldn’t stop listening because you didn’t want to miss any action that might come. I don’t remember how the situation was resolved but it sure had the whole radio-listening central Texas area paying attention. Crazy!
