Tune in! Turn on!
This is the only radio station in town. Wanna jam on the jam box? It's Terry Gross on NPR. Wanna get down on a hot Friday with some tunes?! It's Ira Flato on Science Friday.
Bless their hearts, these guys at NPR Marfa are trying. Don't like what they're playing? You can stand outside their studio and shout through the windows at them. Their recording/broadcast booth overlooks the main street. They have mostly nationally syndicated shows that they play, but they do some local stuff as well. It behooves them to keep it fresh, or another radio station might move in.
I like that there's no advertising on this station, other than underwriting, which is different from advertising. It's more of a public service announcement that they're bringing than an ad message.
The DJs here seem to be real relaxed, and are having fun working here. They're not like Ira and the Douche in the Morning- it's almost like a calming effect that meshes well with the expansive West Texas landscape.
Sometimes, they even play classical and hang up the microphone and just let the music take it away. read more
