Richie Sambora has a reason to be sad right now.
Crap. Hate it when stuff like this happens. :/

Dear Clear Channel and Texas radio
Apr. 24th, 2007 10:46 amWhat did rock n' roll ever do to you?
That's right. As of 6 am this morning, 92.5 is now a Country station. They did the same thing they did to the Eagle; one minute, it's classic rock, the next--Hello, Kenny!
This leaves the Edge (which is Alternative, not classic or metal or just regular old rock), The Mix (which has some rock, but is more of a broad range and doesnt play the really hard stuff), and the Bone (Which has the Walden and Johnson talk show on for five hours every morning...bleh. Thanks, guys, but I want my music, not two confirmed Good 'Ol Boys being sometimes smart, but mostly old school and dumb talking shit.(And no, gentlemen, having a token gay and a token black guy on 'the team' for contrast DOESN'T make it any better, especially when they both get shouted down when they try and correct you two for some pretty outrageous bullshit comments coming out of your white boy mouths).
And the Edge and the Mix belong to Clear Channel as well.
Anyone want to make any bets on their life expectancy? I know I don't.
FEH I say!
You know, looking at what happened to 92.5 today, what has been happening in regards to programming, and how changes have been handled, and looking at the cut-throat treament of DJ's that have their formats (and then their jobs) suddenly pulled out from under them...
And then further looking at what usually replaces what was there (yet 'another' format that copies many of the other channels in the area, thereby limiting the type of music available in a broadcast area, or talk shows that are 'cutting edge', but in truth usually only target one insular group or another and furthers 'it's them and not us that is the problem with today's society, etc...)
...I'm beginning to wonder if the whole point simply isn't to wipe out all music...or at least the music that doesn't 'conform' to a specific audience range...
"Save The Music', indeed....
