Nocturnal Classical Fans: No More Requests Or Local Hosts For You

• I listened to KUHF online after a search to find stations that NOT streaming that bottom-of-the-barrel Classical 24 network. Surprise, KUHF, now KUHA, is now pouring those affected-speech, lowest-common-denominator, personality-vacant Minnesota Classical 24 announcers and wallpaper music too, like about 85% of streaming classical stations.  There's no reason to listen to KUHA, you can get that Classical 24 crap anywhere on the internet. Whatever the reason they tell you that they put Classical 24 on their station doesn't matter, because the reason is obvious:  it's cheap. FYI:  KCLV, WQXR, KQAC, and WETA still have decent overnight classical music.

• Neither UH station is going to have much in the way of "local" anything. This is strictly a money and image deal. They could have both without killing KTRU. In the aftermath, the only thing I know is that both universities suck.

• Awesome!! Man this deal gets better and better. Funny how the station won't take advantage of volunteer student DJs from the University. They could fill up those slots easily with students and it would be a great thing for them and for fans but then again University of Houston's Radio station (contrary to what they may say) is not a college station nor is it about or for the students. And classical fans, don't think this is about you either - it's about being able to expand canned NPR programming which is the station's real cash cow. You don't matter either. Ashamed to be a coog,
