HFS, even though it marketed itself as a Baltimore/Washington radio station, was always officially considered a Baltimore radio station. Infinity Broadcasting would have to get FCC approval to increase their signal strength to cover the DC area, which won't happen, because there is already a gazillion talk radio stations in DC, and b/c the only reason HFS was brought back on 105.7 was due to the huge protest down in DC.

I haven't listened to HFS since it died off of 99.1, I say let it die. Radio in DC sucked even when HFS was on 99.1, gotta get XM or Sirius. To those who say it doesn't suck around here, go down to VA Beach, or to another city and see for yourself the variety of the radio stations and the higher quality playlists. DC area radio personalities need to get a clue and improve their playlists.
I kind of agree. If you like just mainstream music, then you would like the music in this area. But if you like specific genres of music, for example, just strictly rap, then go to NYC. Such a variety of hip-hop artists played on some of the radio stations there, and many of them not being mainstream rappers.

I'll have to keep that mind when I goto NYC. To add to the genre-city comment that you made, I have noticed that Virginia Beach has a good line-up of rock/classic rock radio stations. Daytona Beach/Orlando area has a good rock/classic rock line up as well. A couple of years ago Baltimore had an awesome classic rock line-up, like 4 stations or so, but then last year they started consolidating stations and swapping formats, knocking it back to just 2 decent stations (98 Rock and 100.7). And Nashville, as everyone would expect, has a good country music station lineup.
