<p>No hatin’ intended. Just brutal facts. If those who are so passionate now had only been as passionate about ensuring programming that kept the listeners listening, you could have maintained a radio frequency. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with having a 50,000 watt station, and that responsibility wasn’t met. The bar should have been set higher. KTRU did not achieve the aspirations of the original founders. I personally think Rice students are brilliant enough to create a c-change and make KTRU the prototype for internet streaming. I still think you can include all different genres, although I question “Noise” and “Speeding Motorcycle” actually being defined as anything remotely to do with good music. I liked hearing an Iranian pop song from the 70s, but then it was followed by whale sounds; and some of the DJs are so monochromatic and random that they lose, instead of enhance, listenership. It’s like they have ADHD and forgot their adderall, or are trippin’ on LSD. The programming had no vision. It’s random and haphazard.</p>
