The Washington, D.C. radio station 99.1 WHFS used to be a “modern and alternative” rock station. Now it has suddenly changed formats to El Zol 99.1, a Latino station. If you try http://www.whfs.com, you’ll see their new logo, but I refuse to drive traffic to their site by actually linking to them.
WHFS was one of the few local stations where you could hear cool, interesting, unique music, a welcome change from the typical crappy Clear Channel programming omnipresent on other “rock” stations. It really blows that they’re gone, and although abrupt format changes are apparently the norm in the radio business, the suddenness of this stings all the more…
Update: DCRTV has a nice tribute to WHFS that includes a short history of the station as well as interviews with personalities that worked there.
