What classical groups will be left in San Diego?
The bottom line is, classical music needs younger generations to start liking and appreciating it. Not sure how to make that happen.— May 3, 2020 6:46 a.m.
Look at the San Diego radio casualty list
"Fortunately listeners can find 500,000 radio stations in their phones and computers from all over the world. Every imaginable topic or music style in every language and it's all free and sometimes free of advertising. " And THAT is the biggest reason why so many local stations are struggling. If your town doesn't have anything to your liking, just stream from anywhere else. I listen to KEXP out of Seattle.— January 29, 2020 8:46 a.m.

I think you may be correct. I was confusing the two.— January 29, 2020 8:38 a.m.
Look at the San Diego radio casualty list
I doubt anyone is going to "move on" whatever the new owners provide because most people are already not listening to traditional radio to begin with. That's the main reason why it's struggling all over the country. In cities that have public stations like KEXP in Seattle or KCR in LA (two examples) have decent audiences in their respective areas but SD doesn't really have much in that regard other than 88.3 (local jazz station out of City College). Most people these days are listening to streaming services like Spotify. As to the fate of the fired DJs, yeah it sucks and I feel bad for all of them but anyone in this line of work these days go into it (or if they've been at it for awhile) stay with it knowing it can all end the next morning. No one goes into radio expecting job security. I'm sure all of them will land on their feet and be fine so you're being a bit Shakespearian dramatic to say they will be out on the streets.— January 28, 2020 6:25 p.m.
