Go Fish

An interesting note from WaPo’s Marc Fisher today. Fisher grumbles about the recent changes to D.C. radio:

“They silenced our jazz station and turned it into the songs of the men of Congress, C-SPAN Radio. They silenced the classical music on public radio and gave us the exact same news show we already got on another public station. They killed our oldies station and fed us a diet of 1970s rock tunes so repetitious, it makes us pine for the days of Top 40 radio.”

Are the changes a mistake? According to Google Trends area residents do more searches for classical music than any other place in the U.S. Washington logs in at number eight for searches on jazz music. And the city is in the top ten for oldies.
