KAHL isn't bad, actually. While I don't listen often, I do think some songs they play are okay. I just think they should stop treating 103.7 like it's new.

I like it too. Wish I could stream the station online.

It's been around for a while. I listened to it when it first came out around 2005? on AM 1310.

Now if BMP would put True Oldies on AM 550, or if Clear Channel would put True Oldies on thier AM 760 that would only complement it. KAHL is like the old FM 101 KFAN. Unlike Houston, San Antonio still has a Easy Listening format. If I remember correctly KAHL started shortly thereafter KLUP's flip from Nostalgia to Conservative Talk after COX sold the station to Salem.

Define "Real Music." Define "Real Musicians." Sorry, but this sounds like the stereotypical grandparents. Sort of like people who live in old houses and demean anything built after WWII.

Not criticizing KAHL...I've heard the station on my trips to SA and it sounds great. But I think a little musical chauvinism is at work here.

Now if BMP would put True Oldies on AM 550, or if Clear Channel would put True Oldies on thier AM 760 that would only complement it.

Probably not gonna happen as long as KONO is around. Would be splitting up some aging listener demographics.

Music has always been subjective. But here the term "real music" is used to describe the era of musicianship before it was "enhanced" by record producers and computerized effects. And as for "stereotypical grandpaprents," my 80-year-old parents drive a late model Toyota, have cell phones, a computer, flat screen TV, etc. And they have money to spend on what they hear adverstised. It's time to update your stereotypical view of older people.

I think you missed my point, which is why I used the word "stereotypical."

I just think it is wrong to delegitimize genres of music because of the way they are produced. For instance, the jazz music and big bands of the 20's-40's were blasted as vulgar garbage by earlier generations. And opera in the 19th century--ostentatious showmen!!!

Musical instruments aren't limited to something you blow into, drag a bow across, strike with your fingers, or hit with a stick. Think all the instruments in a modern symphony orchestra have been around forever?

And my parents are now in their late 70's and got a home computer before I did. Same with HDTV. Did beat them on the cell phone, though. ;D

My grandparents on my fathers side would listen to KQUE, then KBME would drive only Fords, Lincolns, or Oldsmobiles, and would never have a firestone tire. But they would buy not one but 2 items of the same thing on the shopping channels.
