I am not sure what the text that displays on newer radios is called, but KFNC is identifying itself as KFNS on the text. If they want to get the best recognition for their call letters, they need to check what text the station is sending out. I guess they are still getting the bugs out of the system. I was pleased to see that Mike Shiloh from K-Star Country has moved to KFNC though, as I enjoyed listening to him on K-Star Country (which I enjoyed more than the other country stations), but could not longer listen to K-Star at home (near the Galleria) since the KSBJ translator takes over 99.7 (although K-Star at 99.7 comes in on my car radio generally about when I get downtown, although weak. (Does KSBJ even need a translator in Sugar Land -- I have always received their main signal just fine when in Sugar Land).
And hearing Jim Carolla this evening on KFNC was great too, since KILT should not have downsized their news department because their news coverage set KILT apart from other music stations. The news on KILT solidifies the local feel that sets it apart from the satellite programing on KKBQ (like Lia, however you spell her name, who tries so hard to sound local with all those inserts of her saying "the new 93Q and careful lack of references to geography by callers, but when the callers say "I want to dedicate this song to my husband who is out ice fishing" I generally don't get the feeling that the callers are from Houston!), and also sets it apart from the "Jukebox without any DJS" that plays most of the time on Country Legends.
Back to KFNC, on the other hand, hearing Phil Hendries' show tonight the topic was ridiculous -- the show focused on a man who wants to ban Japanese steakhouses like Benihana because he claims they induce post traumatic stress episodes in veterans of wars in eastern Asia (including WWII, Korea and Vietnam) with the use of knives and fire by the Japanese chefs.
(the man talking himself was a Korean War vet, but apparently he can't tell the difference between Japanese chefs and the North Korean soldiers who may have been the enemy he faced--but certainly the Japanese and Koreans, with a long and unpleasant history at times in their relations, would be able to write volumes about the differences in the Japanese and Korean peoples)
