i am absolutely gutted.
on the evening of august 16th, some deeply upsetting news came to light: rice university was on the brink of selling ktru's fm frequency and transmitter for a mere $9.5 million to the university of houston/kuhf (an npr affiliate), to be used as an all-classical music station. no warning was given, there was essentially no time to organize a plan of action to attempt to block the sale. it was, in effect, already a done deal.
but we're not giving up without a fight.
if you are a supporter of creative radio, please visit savektru.org. there's a link to a petition there, as well as details on other ways to help.
if ktru becomes an internet-only station, i will continue to create freeform radio shows (and continue to be a part of the genetic memory specialty show rotation), if they will have me. i will continue to post playlists (hopefully less sporadically than in the past).
in addition, i hope to make some music mixes inspired by some of my favorite playlists, past & present, and post links to them here. since the audio of my radio shows has not been archived in any accessible way, many people have asked me to do this sort of thing, and i think it's finally time. watch this space...
