Changes are a-comin'

Most of you probably already know this, but there has been a major overhaul on the KDHX radio line-up which will be implemented tomorrow morning, beginning at 5:00am. Some shows are going away, others are being moved and still others have been expanded or shortened.

I was kind of sad to see that Etiquette of Violence, The Grateful Dead Hour and Democracy Now! were getting the ax (although, to be fair, DN! is going to a ten-minute headline blast, so its not going away entirely). But I was excited to see that some new shows, such as Thomas Crone's new music show, were being put up.

Another thing that KDHX is doing is moving shows so that the "flow" is better. Meaning that you won't be hearing a show about books immediately following the Heavy Metal show. Now, each day has blocks that fit generally into broad genres, and each show sounds similar- yet still different- from the one before it.

Obviously, some people are going to have problems with these changes. Lets face it, we like routine. We fear change. But the programmers feel that this will make the station even more enjoyable and competitive in this saturated market. Additionally, KDHX will be alunching a new HD Radio station in the fall where some familiar favorites will get their day in the sun again. So stay tuned for that.

You can find the new KDHX schedule here in PDF format.

* By the way, I don't work for the station or anything. Upon rereading this, it kind of makes it sound like I'm speaking for them or something. Not so. I just love the radio station and thought this info was relevant. Carry on.
