Thats freakin' depressing...WTH,are the corporate guys aware that there's LOTS of people(including Chicano kids!)that play&listen to harcore,punk&speed metal?Not to mention roots rockers...talk about an obvious bit of PC puckerin' up...
I remember listening to the last seconds of KMET, the mighty met, in LA in the 80's. It was replaced by cool jazz.
Fraser Smith, Paraquat and all the others.
Turned it on this morning and had to double-check the station. Guess I won't be going back to listen.
I quit listening to Rock Stations a few years ago. Although I love Rock Music, the DJs are usually limp wristed, purse swinging, panzies who spout "useful idiot" garbage.
Hip hop and Spanish language stations - that's 'bout all we get here in S. FL too......
Oh well, at least it wasn't country music. Talk about songs for limp d*%ks.
Get used to it... If the borders are not tightened up we will all be speaking spanish in a few years.
Hey.. join the club. That stuff happens all the time here in south texas.
I grew up listening to KSJO and KOME they were great rock stations back then, what a bummer. :-(
I suppose with a CD player and satellite radio, you could tell Aztlan to go pound sand.
I was program director at KSJO from 1975-1980, and the news of the change was sad though not unexpected. The culture has changed radically, and the cookie-cutter sameness of corporate radio hasn't helped, but no radio format can survive in todays market when it hasn't updated it's playlist since the late '70's. Do you really want to hear Freebird or Stairway To Heaven every day? It is sad to watch the end of an era, but it's really the right time.
KSJO was the last one in the original format.
I hate this crap.
Miami still has two or three english speaking stations left but they don't get any numberrs.
Hispanic population = little purchasing power.
graying of the rock market = huge purchasing power.
every radio station which switches = marketing idiots.
WTF???? KSJO is dead?
Not a surprise sorry to say. KSJO missed the boat when alternative came around in the early 90s trying to protect their morning numbers from Lamont & Tonelli, so they kept on playing far too many classic rock songs even after KSJO and classic rock KFOX became sister stations.
FM is dead. XM is where it is at now.
ALL RICHIE VALENS!! ALL THE TIME!! 24/7
I left San Jose in 1990 and have been in TX ever since,..... What ever happened to KOME (the wet spot on your dial) ?????
I also did Two years at SJSU- (Go Spartans !), Is the school station KSJS still around ?????
Welcome to North Mexico.
