101.1 KLOL was my favorite radio station and I am f'n pissed that they killed it--------I am Mexican/ American like some of the other members on this board so what is up with all the shitty cracks? 
The stuff on this new station isn't from Mexico it's from Beltran's homeland-Puerto Rico

Hey guys, I found Clear Channels address. Me and a bunch of other people are trying to get as many people as possible to write or call and complain. It may not end up changing anything, but its all we can do:
CLEAR CHANNEL
Key People
• Chairman: L. Lowry Mays
• President, CEO, and Director: Mark P. Mays
• EVP, CFO, and Director: Randall T. Mays
Address: 200 E. Basse Rd.
San Antonio, TX 78209
Phone: 210-822-2828
Fax: 210-822-2299
Try and get as many people possible to complain, hopefully we can change their mind. I sure hope 34 years of radio history arent about to go down the drain.

Well, Billy-Ed was goin off on some racial spin, I think it was Tuesday, about BET, and why we dont have White-Ent.-Televison....and I was crackin up LOUD, at like 8 oclock in the mornin. Well, this big ( and yes, I know its wrong...but I mean BIG) ol' black lady looks at me, and says "you think that show is funny huh?" as I reply "Well byyyyy Gawd, It's bout as funny as a white man on homestead" Yeah, so she didn't like that, and as the hour went on, I got an email from the Corp. Manager, and was politely told to turn the morhning shows off of my radio, or I'd have to face consequences. In other words. she meant "your white, your loud, and your making fun of everything, quit your your fired" lol

**** rock 101 and Clear Channel, bring back the REAL Houston Rock n Roll Station, the one that rock 101 bought out twice because they stole half of 101's customer base twice, the first time on AM @ 1070 and the second time on FM @ 106.9 ZROCK, or even old school Houston Rock n Roll like 97 rock. But playing nothing but constant commercials from 7-10 Am EVERY ******* Morning gets old quick, you need good Music playing when your in your car driving

5 "latino" channels and 2 rock stations? How does that make sense... I guess it caters better to all the illegal immigrants driving around without insurance.

Yea, I'm Hispanic and yea I listened to 101, but don't blame us for the change in radio station formats. Be pissed off all you like but direct your anger to where it belongs...the radio station owners.
And for those that don't like what Texas is "turning into"...don't let the door hit you on the way out. By the way don't forget what Texas originally was.
It's funny how so many people claim that there isn't anymore racism in America, but as soon as things like this happen people's true "colors" finally come out.

those are NOT tejano stations anymore....those are ****** backbone, wetback ****...Tejano is TOTALLY different type of music. I remember when they took away KQQK and Super Tejano stations and turned them into that Pepito ****...there was a big outrage in the Tejano music crowd. All you can find is one tejano station on AM. I wish I lived in San Antonio.

Ive lived all over the US and found a good mix of cultures everywhere, but to slam mexicans over a decision some jackasses in another city made because their 'stats' showed them they could make more money isnt cool at all. Its sad the KLOL is gone, I drive for a living and they would be on in my truck about 80-90% of the time, but dont try and pass the buck onto people that had nothing to do with it. We all know who did this, CLEAR CHANNEL and all the BULLSHIT they stand for. They do this all over the country, buy and hack up stuff that works to squeeze a few more dollars out of it so they can drive their lambos and porsches to work while listening to XM/Sirius. Welcome to America, if you dont like it, swim to Cuba!

....Man...I joined the military, and everything went to **** in houston (radiowise) Ive listened to some kick *** stations across the states and overseas, but Ive ALWAYS looked forward to comming back to houston and listening to Stevens and Pruitt and the whole crew..... it's a shame that there's only 1 rock station now. I was afraid that something like this would happen when I learned a few years back that Clear Channel purchaced the station. Rock 101 hasnt been the same since that purchase. I hate CC...it really makes me mad to say that my favorite station, Rock 1053 in San Deigo, is a CC station. "The Rock That Stole Christmas" is a concert that 1053 put on a few days before christmas...last year was, Korn, SevenDust, Adema, and a few others....this year (The Rock BEFORE Christmas ) is Metallica and Godsmack. Man I miss that station. I hope CC doesn't **** that one up too, but then again they did take Howard Stern off of the program.
******I wonder how much a radio station goes for these days?...I'd probly end up paying more in fines to the FCC than I would for the station.

With this many upset listeners SOMETHING will happen, although it may not be what we want. ClearChannel may make more money with a hispanic station than a Rock station...but that doesnt stop some other financial backer to start-up/take over with a Rock station...It's not like CC was losing money...they just seen an opportunity to make more than what they were.
It makes me mad, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

Truly a sad event for Houston. Every time I drive through, I looked forward to catching 101 on the radio - even for the Thunder Shootout last weekend. I listened to S&P back in the early 90s when I lived / commuted in Houston. The Radio Gods... indeed. 
And with the Eagle being shot down in DFW, it's tough to remember where to turn the dial now.
I can remember listening to the Eagle back in the early 80s when I was in Junior High...
Corporate radio sucks. Syndicated radio sucks. ZRock was about as close to syndicated radio as I liked... even though they played waaaay too much Pearl Jam.
