I've been up in arms about this since yesterday. As much as I dislike the radio these days I'm still sad to see it go. Infinity radio owns WHFS, WARW (94.7), WPGC (95.5) and WJFK (106.7) and out of those stations WHFS had the weakest ratings in the area. Apparently they've had low ratings for several years and there had been talk of them changing over for a while. DC101's head was on the chopping block a few years ago, but I guess they managed to save themselves. These huge media congomerates are horrible for radio because they're playing whatever record labels pay them to play, not what they think is good. I'm seriously looking into getting myself satellite radio.
