So, who has something to say about HFS?

"El Zol es El Sucko!"

Just curious... does anyone know why Big O and Dukes were 'dismissed'? Mutleyrus 23:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alright! HFS on Wikipedia, sweeeeet!

Being a long time listener of WHFS, (going back to the mid 70's) I was psyched to see so much good information about this legendary radio station here on Wikipedia. Nice, give everyone a chance to learn about a true American original.

HFS has changed over the years, and just as yin is to yang, all has not always been great with the station; it's had it's ups and downs. Still, when HFS died, I have never seen before the kind of public outcry which took place amongst the loyal listeners of the station. And true to its' origins back in the 60's, HFS is once again a station for the people.

My prediction today is that the best is still ahead for WHFS and, due to an energetic lineup such as The Junkies and Ed Norris, this once great music station will rise again to the top as a cutting edge daytime talk station. As the listeners to the Ed Norris show know, this is a man who will change the world. Hell, he already has in so many ways. You want controversial, dive right in.

Still, HFS retains its' all-time music format during the weekends and after 7 p.m. during the week. Better yet, they've returned to playing their roots, as well as the best of today's music, in a new but old twist.

To respond to the prior post, I don't know what happened exactly to Big O and Dukes but Chad still calls in frequently to the Junkies show giving everyone a good laugh.

Ok, I'm out....hey, only 85 days or so till HFStival 2006! Sweeeeet! Wonder which 20 or so top bands I'm gonna get to see this year! Sweeeet.....

[edit] The death of "Death of HFS"

Hey, I sympathise. Clear Channel did the same thing to WZTA here in Miami. Walked in one Friday, kicked everyone out, and started playing reggaeton. But format switches, no matter how heartlessly carried out by owners/management on employees/listeners, are part of the radio business. When living in DC area, was big HFS fan. Sorry to see what happened. In any case, "Death" is not a neutral term. One of the most emotional terms in the language. So I changed it to something more neutral. Tomcool 15:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 105.7 or 106.7?

I'm confused by the "105.7" revival section. References are made to the Junkies, Don and Mike, and "Free FM." The Junkies were on HFS, but these are all currently associated with 106.7 WJFK, not 105.7 HFS. Is the author confused, or is there something I'm missing? This should probably be corrected, or (if somehow this is not a mistake) clarified to prevent confusion.

Actually I can't even tune in to 105.7 (would love to hear some old HFS), so either it's one big typo or it doesn't broadcast into virginia... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.171.110.166 (talk • contribs).

I get it at 105.7 but I don't think it is 24 hours. I believe the Junkies started on HFS (@99.1) and then went semi-national (East of US?) when Stern went to satellite - I dunno I personally thought they were useless waste and moved to 98 Rock for my mornings (but now they suck too so I just hum in the shower). — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 17:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see now -- they are based at 106.7 WJFK and syndicated to Baltimore 105.7 (also 'Free FM'). As are Don and Mike. My mistake... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.171.110.166 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Rally for Damian

The article is incorrect about the location of the rally concert for Damian. The article states the concert was at Wheaton Plaza, where in fact it was Plaza Del Mercado or also called the Del Mercado Shopping Center, on Bel Pre Road in the Aspen Hill area. I was there for this event, and Cerphe was the emcee.

For such a detailed article, they could have at least gotten this fact correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.108.8.5 (talk) 11:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

Instead of whining, just fix it. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 02:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
