KIXI, how could you?
One of Seattle's best kept secrets is Seattle's KIXI radio station. (880 on your AM dial!) It's a nice mix of 40's-70's music with quirkly local announcers.
Or, at least it was.
They still have the music, but now it's a creepy service called "Music of your life" the comes out of LA or someplace. Gone are the strange locals (some of whom sounded like that might have been a bit tipsy). They were all let go in a typical radio station "Bloodbath" and replaced with this new thing.
At first I hated it, and I'm still not in love with it. But they do play a bigger variety of music, and they don't seem to repeat themselves so much. But still, it's always sad to see a local institution replaced by a franchise service.
