Electronic/dance music is back on Houston radio. The only catch is you have to be a true radio geek like me to listen. That's because the format is only available on HD radio.
Seems like Hot 95.7 KKHH HD-2 decided not to put smooth jazz on its secondary digital channel and went with dance. This move makes sense because dance compliments the CHR sound of Hot 95.7.
Believe it or not, Houston had a dance station in the past. From the late 80s to early 90s, the station now known as Mix 96.5 KHMX was Energy 96.5 KNRJ. It played nothing but dance music with lots of rare stuff mixed in according to Wikipedia.
Fast forward to 2008, now you can listen to Daft Punk and other electronic artists anytime you want...if you have HD Radio.
You are probably thinking why I would be interested in this. Yes I really like rock and metal music as you can tell from this blog . But after being the program director of college station KWBU, I got more into the electronic stuff.
