Um….HD Radio isn’t Hi Def. It’s Hybrid Digital which allows for multiple feeds to be sent over a narrower range of bandwidth. There’s absolutely no change in quality.

Wow JC, it’s like you wrote what I was thinking. Has anyone heard if K&M are returning to work on the air waves anywhere? I don’t yearn for them but if they came back to a station (in the DC listening area) I would be tempted to listen in again. They won’t replace Elliot but, they do deserve a spot on the air in the area.

It’s interesting that I find you’re blog now… when Kirk & Mark have been booted from WHFS 105.7. It’s also interesting since they have lots of sports coverage during their morning show. They would’ve fit right in. Well that’s free radio for you, we’re just not allowed to have any variety. If you want variety you’ll have to pay for it! Just like TV. The best viewing is on cable or satillite. Very little good free TV. — I don’t listen to 98 Rock at all anymore. I only listened to it because of KMS. Poor Speigel. The Junkies can be really annoying. They come in very clear where I live. I could barely hear 105.7. The only stations I can hear well during the daytime are the high-def. 102.7 is high-def & is completely automated; though excellent variety. I love that it’s just like listening to a DJ at a party rather than a radio station that plays all the same kind of music. — My wish is that Kirk & Mark get hired in the DC area market, we have several Classic Rock/AOR stations here. That would be SWEET! Then I wouldn’t need to jump between The Junkies, Mix 107 & WTOP. So long K&M. Really enjoyed when you were relaxed & felt like to could talk about anything…no I’m not talking about HFS, I’m remembering KickAss 98 Rock back in the ’80s.

I didn.t know where Kirk & Mark went .Thanks for having posted info. Miss Lopez the most, but always liked Kirk & Mark. Not sure about Sbegal. Feels strange listening to M & A in the mourning, but getting use to.Sometimes good things move on. Many thoughts for the Lopez family,still. Good luck!

I think of lopez often when I listen to fm rock radio, like the two previous comments I listened to 98 rock mainly soley for Lopez’s news reports and the earlier in his career “The Daily Lopez” intersting short subject in in the news I still have on a “laugh hard” wristband that I got when Lopez was first sick. Nothing on radio will, for me, ever come close to Lopez

Completely agree, bridget. Mickey doesn’t have any talent and his jokes aren’t even funny regardless of the state of mind you’re in. Lopez is still definitely missed, there’s no doubt about that.

Lopez was the main reason I listened to 98 Rock, starting long before KML. I like Kirk; never much cared for Mark, the trailer park redneck, but he’s really improved a lot. Mickey is infinitely worse–not funny, not smart, not entertaining–a total loser. I listened to 98 Rock much less when Lopez died, and won’t listen at all without KMS. I still miss Lopez.

Good riddence. The only reason I listened to WIYY when they were there was to hear Lopez – these guys have no talent and are just boring. They aren’t missed.
