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.


Your opinion.

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


You did not search well enough.

I recall that Clear Cut was to buy this station.


No, it was not. ever. Radio One bought it, and the calls stand for Radio
One, Inc.

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.


But the owner wanted to cash out, which is his right.

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


Leaving it with more classical than most US markets.
