A new Houston radio station that won't ever exist

John Nova Lomax of the Houston Press thinks current radio sucks and writes about the new Lone Star 92.5 FM in Dallas - that is Clear Channel's latest experiment in radio. It's a station that is hybrid country/rock, doesn't air traditional commercials and really cuts down DJ chatter.

Lomax also talks about his dream station here in Houston:
But here's what I mean on the rock end: I would spin new acts like Lily Allen, the Arcade Fire, the Shins, Drive By Truckers, Amy Winehouse and Scott Miller alongside neglected oldies by bands like the Clash, the Smiths, the Jam, XTC, the Cure, and the Ramones. To that, I would add a rap mix of stuff by Public Enemy, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, the Wu-Tang Clan, OutKast, Eric B. and Rakim and Cypress Hill. (Since this is, after all, Houston, you would also hear Scarface/Geto Boys, Devin the Dude, Z-Ro, Big Moe, UGK and Lil' Keke too.)
READ THE REST

Think that would work? I would listen.

There is also a conversation with longtime Houston DJ, David Sadof about his dream station. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
