I don't give a darn about KLOL changing, there's already an overabundance of lame worn-out rock stations, and the stuck-in-the-70's demographic is shrinking. But what they are doing to KTRH is why Clear Channel sucks to high heaven, and why I have no problem with the FCC limiting the number of stations any company can own in a single market. Deb Duncan will be 1-3 and Chris Baker(the best talk show host in Texas, by far) 3-7, which means KTRH is basically eliminating their news programming. Of course it already was a pathetic shell of itself after Clear Channel took over, spending 50% of their time on endless station promos, but it is a joke that a city the size of Houston won't have a single news station, just gab and music (bad enough that there's only a single mediocre sports station.) Hey Ken Charles, aren't you embarrassed to work for such a cheesy conglomerate?
World class city? What a joke.
It's not the fact that rock is off the air. The fact they replaced a major market station with foreign language is the surprise. The local news channel tonight said Hispanics is currently the largest population in Houston (34%). No problem on the face of it.
The problem is many of them are here illegally with makes them criminals. The police are told not to question anyones immigration status. The problem consequently compounds over loading our emergency rooms, charities and public schools.
I have no problem with foreigners who reside in America LEGALLY. The more the merrier but only if they follow the same rules as you and I on a daily basis. Next in line for the soap box.
