Re: KUOI changes
We used to have a local station that had NPR affiliation, a station that
would staff (send a reporter to) every Moscow council meeting. But that
station (yes, KRFA) grew to serve the entire state, and that means local
service is a thing of the past.
It also means the weather forecasts for Port Angeles and Penticton come
your way every morning, in among the forecasts for a lot of other places.
I really don't object to the weather forecasts, but I really do miss the
station being able to pay attention to what happens in Moscow, Pullman,
Lewiston and Clarkston.
