    ANOTHER station for young women?
    What a blasted Bore! I was sooooooo disappointed when I turned to 103.7 only to hear more jangly harsh rock music. I WANTED the moldy oldies?

    Won’t anyone play music for us people 50 and older. What this town REALLY needs is a classical station. It had the BEST classical station I’ve ever heard. Then it died; a few months ago. That was SD Radio’s greatest loss, if you ask me.

    What a bloody bore!
    I was soooooo disappointed to turn to 103.7 this morning and hear nothing but jangle jangle jangle.
    Moldy oldies from the 60’s and ’70’s would have been FUN!

    It would have been something DIFFERENT.

    Of course, what this town most is a revival of its EXCELLENT CLASSICAL STATION. I’ve lived in many towns, and KFSD was the best classical station–I used to rave to my out-of-town friends about it.

    The only good thing I can say about radio Sophie is that the music is more melodic than beat. But it’s still too “rock” for my ears.
