Regarding your implied charge of racism… again, this post is about a critically-acclaimed and fan favorite radio station changing format. This is not about race.

In the future, please be careful about making such a charge.

I can’t believe you keep using that. You know half of David Ehrenstein family is black, but that doesn’t stop him from calling Obama “a magic negro” or implying other vile things about him, so what if you are the ethnic group that you are talking about that’s not a save. Are you implying that only white people can be prejudice?

My posts about Indie had nothing to do with the station flipping to Spanish. I love that a few people have decided to turn this into and English vs. Spanish debate.

Being that I am half my family is Spanish-speaking, that’s like Thanksgiving back home.

I expect that the reason Jason (and others) lament the passing of Indie 103.1 is that it was a station that was unique in the L.A. radio market. No one else was playing the music that got played there. I don’t think Jason (and others) are saying Spanish language radio is bad; just that there are already numerous other Spanish stations in L.A., and it is unfortunate to lose a station that was so unique in favor of a station that will join a growing group of stations already playing similar music.

Of course, I don’t mean to put words in anyone’s mouths. That’s just my take on it.
