such a shame. good station to listen to once or twice a month. The fact they were a classic country station, yet repeated the same 50 songs on a playlist over and over again is what did them in. Oh well.DVM97 said:
My go to for classic country has become a Christian station!? WTF!? How does a Christian radio station take over a classic country station? Especially in HOUSTON!! Apparently $3.1 million is all it takes to buy a radio station these days, LOL. It is a sad day, I guess I am back to Pandora and Spotify.
Rant over.
That's all radio stations for the past 20 years. The average person is in a car for 30 minutes or less and in that time they want to hear their favorites rather than deep tracks. Its sucks if you work in a place that plays radio all day and you have to hear the same handful of songs on repeat.AustinCountyAg said:such a shame. good station to listen to once or twice a month.

First heard of The Ranch at Musicfest and I sometimes listen through their app.cypress-ag said:
Fort Worth has a station that is dedicated to red dirt and Texas Country Artist. 95.9 The Ranch. It is such a shame that the Houston Market has nothing like this at all. They promote artist and shows in the area as well. I hate to say that DFW has a better market for artists and music but it's the truth and I hate all things Metroplex related.
I follow them on twitter and every week they put out their top 12 Texas Country Songs and I then add them to my Spotify playlist.drumboy said:First heard of The Ranch at Musicfest and I sometimes listen through their app.cypress-ag said:

I wish I had HD radio.

The KLOL drop was one of the darkest days in the city of Houston.maroon barchetta said:
You just reminded me of the day KLOL became a Tejano/fusion/whatever station.
Not nearly as triggering as KQUE going from being the old person classic oldies music to a rap station in a day or two span. Those olds were not happy.
Just upgraded less than a year ago. Lexus/Toyota are so far behind and I'm going to get a grom unit for Carplay but still won't have HD radio.Milwaukees Best Light said:
If you don't have HD radio, might be time to look into a new ride. That 04 Corolla has served you well, now let it go.

Obviously tacos have the latest & greatest tech, inside and out.... (My 2011 taco had BT radio that sounded like you were listening to hold music on your phone but phone calls were fine)Aggie71013 said:
That's shocking. My 2015 Taco has HD radio.
