Doubt it. In my search of useless information while cruising the net, a long time ago I found a discussion about radio industry, and I think I read something about most the frequency is in use in SE texas, because the FCC has a certain distance requirements, and prefer to give room around a frequency for bleedover between channels...

Genre switches are possible. 103.7 Just switch the Jack-FM, whatever thats supposed to be. I prefered it before that...

Aren't more people are moving away from FM radio to other venues such as XM and iTunes?

Unless we're talking about Tejano here...

Actually no, radio is still very successful, more than ever actually. I thought the same thing but heard about a study that showed people were still listening to the radio at record levels.

I heard that "record levels" were more AM radio talk shows than FM radio music. But that was all through the grapevine.

I don't know if their are any new stations are coming up, but Houston radio sucks big time. Clear Channel has destroyed Houston radio and the others aren't much better.

Is there an all news radio station in Houston? I used to listen to all those news stations like 1010wins, wcbs when I lived in NY.

Not on FM. 740 AM is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

740AM is the only one I believe and then there is NPR. Everything else is ultra-conservative, rich people need only listen, fascist talk on AM...except for Art Bell/George Noory at night.

All the radio stations in Texas are conservative. I think they need to give equal time to the democrats.
