Expressing Some ROQ-Solid Positions
I am a 17-year-old senior at North High School in Torrance. I am also a longtime KROQ listener (since I was old enough to turn a radio on).
North High is one of only a few high schools in the nation to own and operate a student-run FM radio station (KNHS, 89.7). I and many of the other disc jockeys at KNHS are devoted KROQ listeners; thus, we have formatted our station after KROQ--or should I say what KROQ used to be.
For a station that has played the best alternative music to become another wimpy, radio potpourri like Pirate Radio is a disgrace. The KROQ problem isn’t the jocks. The problem is ratings-hungry, sell-out station managers like Reeb.
