Talk about a leap of faith!
I recall the disappointment I felt a few times when some of my favorite radio stations changed their formats. One area rock station's conversion into easy listening was a heart-breaker years ago. I had to reprogram my car radio fast!
Imagine the reaction of the folks in Kingsburg, Calif., who listened to KFYE-FM. Last week, it changed from playing Christian music, sermons and Bible stories to its new genre: "Porn Radio -- all sex radio, all the time." The playlist included all songs with suggestive lyrics and titles. The tamer songs were spiced up with simultaneous recordings of moaning. I hope they gave their audience plenty of warning.
Yesterday, the station halted the racy lineup and started playing a loop of the station owner saying, "Now that we got your attention ..." and asking listeners to call the station with input on where the station should go with its format.
I wonder if anybody was still listening? Or if, over the week and a half they were playing nothing but nasty, they got a new crowd that will spurn the "K-LOVE" inspirational format they've returned to?
