When I ranted yesterday about Clear Channel turning WTRG into a country station, it looks like I spoke too soon. In yet another bewildering twist, Clear Channel has now switched the station to alternative. I believe the whole format-swapping is simply a stunt to gain media attention, from what I’ve read on message boards out there. Cheap publicity.
Alternative format or not, I think Clear Channel is evil. No local station would change directions twice in three days. I’ll stick with the kick-ass WKNC for my alternative music and let the Clear Channels wither.
