A little bit of déja-vu back in DC: my old favorite radio station, WHFS, was (abruptly) converted to a Spanish-language “tropical” format. From DCRTV.com:
At noon Wednesday, Infinity killed off alternative rock WHFS (99.1 FM). It’s now Spanish language El Zol, with “a current hit blend of Caribbean and Central American dance music.” […] WHFS was born in the 1960s on 102.3 FM in Bethesda, and became a maverick free-form progressive rocker by the early 1970s. It moved to Annapolis-based 99.1 FM in 1983. After a variety of owners, it evolved into a mainstream alternative rock outlet serving both DC and Baltimore, with studios in Lanham.
