I think with all of the backlash, they've realized that they actually had a big, if cult, following. I've also heard that they're going to try to broadcast the station 24 hours online. Who knows?

Mix 106.5 is another infinity owned radio station. HFS had the strongest following in baltimore but had a hard time competing against DC 101 in the DC area market. I don't know if anyone has noticed but they've been slowly integrating more rock into mix 106.5. Its supposed to be like HFS light. I'll have to do some radio surfing today to see whats up.

Okay, I did some research and found this blurb which should explain alot. Sounds like its still up in the air.


99.1 To Become WZLL, WHFS Calls To 105.7? - 1/26 - In Wednesday's DC Post, Paul Farhi looks at the plans (first reported on DCRTV) to continue the HFStival this year despite the demise of alternative rock WHFS on 99.1. And the resurrection of the format on a part-time basis on Baltimore's Live 105.7, which "can't be heard clearly in Washington or its immediate suburbs." Plus, he tells us that Infinity is planning to rename Spanish "El Zol" on 99.1 WZLL. And possibly moving the WHFS calls to 105.7, now WXYV? Also, we learn that Infinity may use talker WJFK-FM, 106.7, to help promote the HFStival in light of 105.7's poor coverage in the DC area.....

I still can't find anything HFS like here in Woodbridge. I'm still pissed. I changed 99.1 to WTOP, at least that way I can get the weather.

What they said was true, on nights and weekends I dial into live 105.7 and bam, HFS. It rocks. Its like having your best friend die and then he possesses your dog. Like now youve got your best friend back as a talking dog. So HFS is kind of like that.

Yeah, that did rock. I miss it on the morning commutes. I now work late hours 2 days a week and it starts coming on right when I leave work. I'm happy again.
