Re: Answers to your questions
Oh, its still around, all right. It's just got a different (sanatized, politicaly-and-corporately-correct) name. Find the station on your radio dial that plays back-to-back Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christine Agulera [sic], and every black "girl group" coming out these days. When you find it, you've found Top 40 for the New Millenium. (I am unfamiliar with the current St. Louis market, or I'd be able to give you a call sign. Although, didn't KSHE eminate from there? It was one of the greats back in the day...) Hmmm I don't listen to Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, or any of those! I don't even know what they sing! Heheh! KSHE was from here, and you are right, it was a GREAT radio station back in the day. Now it's still called KSHE, but owned by Emmis Corp., and still plays Rock, well sort of. ;) How very cool (no that is not sarcasm, it is quite simply, very cool to be in that place at that time!) BTW, where was KCFV? Thanks, it was historical and very neat to be there during those moments, although the first was very sad. KCFV still exists, it was/is a New Wave radio station based at St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley. In the time I worked there it was called "New Rock Radio" and played those things mentioned by someone earlier, like REM, Billy Idol, and Depeche Mode, to name a few. Nightowl >8#

KCFV Update
I don't know if you've tuned in KCFV recently, but I thought you might be interested in knowing that it's no longer "the wave of the future", and has opted to be "North County's New Sound". We're almost strictly Top 40 (CHR-Rhythmic), though right now there's a bit of a mutiny happening over the music, might go varietal. I'm the Asst. News Dir. there currently. Hope you're interested.

Wow! Hello Lou!
I don't know if you've tuned in KCFV recently, but I thought you might be interested in knowing that it's no longer "the wave of the future", and has opted to be "North County's New Sound". We're almost strictly Top 40 (CHR-Rhythmic), though right now there's a bit of a mutiny happening over the music, might go varietal. I'm the Asst. News Dir. there currently. Hope you're interested. I was just posting to Dianna the other day on the KCFV website (Yahoo group). She told us about you coming to the station! How did you find IWT, or have you always been here? I don't listen to radio too much these days but occasionally we turn KCFV on for fun in the car. Mostly I run classical music on 99.1 for my parakeet... he grew up with quiet classical music and I inherited him, but I'm slowly teaching him to appreciate rock. ;) I'll have to check it out, for sure sometime soon though! Thanks! And welcome to IWT! Brenda

Hehe, yep, I agree!
He's a he parakeet, named Sylvester, and he prefers violins, string orchestras, etc. He really loves Strauss and Vivaldi, they are two of his favorites.
He stands K-hits (my local 70's station) when the classical station is doing Opera, (he can't stand opera and Wagner makes him think something is coming to eat him!), but whenever Rod Stewart sings, he gets hyper and squawks and flies in dive bombing motions if we don't switch the station. He does that with Bonnie Rait, and a few other gravelly voiced singers too, and anything that he thinks is coming to eat him, like really weird synthesizer stuff. There's one song in particular he hates and tells us about, but I don't know the name, but it starts with this really weird instrumental, and then the rest of the song is all instrumental, but the first part sounds like something coming to get you.
He's some bird, allright!
