Farewell HFS (From Mediaweek, whole story here): "Infinity Broadcasting announced today it had flipped WHFS-FM, a long-time Rock brand in Washington, D.C., to a Spanish-language format called "El Zol." At noon Wednesday, the station dropped its young-skewing Modern Rock programming for a blend of Caribbean and Central American dance music targeting adults 25-54."

I'll miss HFS, I didn't listen much, b/c we could never get a good signal on my side of DC, but I enjoyed the several HFStivals I attended - there rarely is a chance to get to see 10+ good bands for under $30. No HFStival anymore, no Live on Penn anymore... DC better get its outdoor music act together!
