Default Houston commercial classical station is no more

It finally happened. Houston's only commercial classical music station, KRTS
92.1, is dark. Well, not exactly. It is now KROI, with a format of the worst
music of the Nam era -- the whiny, twangy crap.

Strange, though. The FCC's data base still shows KRTS on 92.1 with the owner as
KRTS, LP. KROI is shown as unassigned.

I recall that Clear Cut was to buy this station.

This station in Seabrook, TX, southeast of Houston, had changed formats and
call signs several times in its 25-30 year life, but KRTS with classical music
had lasted for at least ten years.

An NPR station is now the only classical music station in the Houston area.
