Driving to dinner tonight, I was surprised to hear Neci, once of WHFS fame, back on the airwaves at 105.7FM. As a little background, WHFS 99.1 FM went off the air on January 12th, 2004 at noon, replaced by an all-spanish format station. In the ensuing ,angry fans protested, and Live 105.7FM in Balitmore picked up the slack and started running the “legendary HFS” programming 7pm-3am weeknights and all day weekends. Apparently, they’ve hired a few former HFS dj’s including classic HFS dj Neci, and moved to a more traditional HFS (read less commercial) format. Unfortunately, after hearing Linkin’ Park just about everytime I’ve had this station on in the last week, I’m beginning to despair for this new HFS.
For those who miss the last incarnation of WHFS — not I — whfs.com runs a 24/7 internet stream of the former 99.1FM. For those of us geezers who remember the good ole days, I’m told that WRNR 103.1FM should fit the bill — hey they’ve got Damien and Rob Timm, so they can’t be all bad.
Now if someone would just get Weasel back on the air.
Weasel is on 94.7.
But they have him playing old arena rock. I kind of miss his flashback on sunday morning.
