"Casting Swine Before Pearl Jam":
+ East Bay Express, June 1, 2005
You'll note that Chris Thompson gets the Piedmont station's call letters wrong (should be KMZT, not KMRT, which I believe is the flagship station for K-Mart stores).
Among the quotes I did not completely agree with:
> (KPIG's) entry into the fourth-largest radio market in America could spell problems for both KPFA and KFOG, the two stations whose music format most closely approximates the station's Americana sound.
KFOG ... Americana???
> For the first time since KSAN and KMEL were reprogrammed into the grave, listeners will have a commercial station that does something unexpected, even creative. And behemoths like Clear Channel are taking notice.
Why he chose KSAN and KMEL as stations that were "reprogrammed into the grave" is beyond me. Are those the two highest examples of good stations gone bad around here?
