Mexican ethnic radio is pretty limited, too. She said, sardonically.
Up here in the desert, we still have KTPI and KLOA (China Lake/Ridgecrest: Adelman Communications).
What lack-of-country-FM?

I think XM radio will replace broadcast radio over time. I guess you can't get KFRG in the Valley because you're essentially in a huge bowl. Down here in the greater Torrance area, I get KFRG fine. No mountains to interfere with the signal.

there's a rental house down the street that has turned the open garage door into a Mexican version of the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater - therefore, I only listen to Ranchero music these days. That is a public nuisance. You can have them fined by the city and can take them to court for monetary damages of they persist.

I am not familiar with Country Music but want to learn something about it, and we have no country station in Pittsburgh either.
What is the best magazine for me to buy? (We have no country music magazines on the racks in stores either!)

Re post #52 - Check out Yehuda's link on post #47, and maybe Yehuda can recommend a magazine for you, too.

Very sad to read this. I worked for KZLA/KLAC from 88-93, it was a great place to work and the country music fans were the best as were the artists that came to the station.
I'm going to miss it :(

...diverse...How I hate that word and all of its variants!!!

I drove a rented car from S.F. to SoCal for a friend's wedding a couple of years ago, and while I am not that fond of Bay Area radio, it kicks ascorbic acid all over L.A. radio if you don't speak Spanish. It was torturous trying to find decent rock-and-roll down there.
I arrived in L.A. county via I-5 in the late evening, and the only thing I could find that wasn't that accordion-and-acoustic guitar crap (you may dig it; I don't) was a station that played Big & Rich's "Save a Horse..." That might have been KZLA, for all I know. Fortunately, I brought an armful of CD-Rs to keep me from dying of boredom on the road. While in L.A., I kept the radio in my car untouched so I wouldn't lose the signal until word came that Ronald Reagan died. Then I found the news stations.

No, I am not into that, uh, whatever you called it. :)
