Something went wrong.
I wish them a sincere “good luck” in this search. To put it mildly, KHFM isn’t back to the level of quality it had when you were there, Marty (be it noted that that’s an awfully high bar, though, and that ain’t flattery, it’s the simple truth), but I will give them credit: they are TRYING. They have moved away from a lot of the mistakes and flat-out ugliness of the management transition, have tried to make things interesting in their own ways, and never to be forgotten, have simply continued to air classical music — no small thing in a time when other classical stations are having the plug pulled, and contrary to fears a lot of people had.
Let’s hope they find somebody really good in this search.
