i went to school in washington. we had our own closed circuit am and very powerful over the air fm stations, but since the fm was affiliated with (boring) npr, we all listened to whfs, especially while under the influence. saluting the dawn with weasel was standard fare after ah, “studying” all night long. i left town in the late seventies and listened only when passing through d.c. so i'd moved on, but it's the end of an era that started in the late sixties and was all but over by 1975 or '80, with a few remarkable exceptions, like wbcn in boston and hfs. you're right multi, if it wasn't the last one to go it was close to it and like ksan, whcn in hartford (sister station to bcn and where i worked), wnew and all the rest, it will be missed and mourned. course there's always the internet but what's progressive american rock radio without stoned dj's and commercials for waterbeds and headshops? well, as a matter of fact, radioparadise.
