  1. I haven’t bothered listening to kboo in a couple years, but the last time I did I remember they had terrible programming. Has anything changed?

  2. Why waste time on this blog trashing the only place in Portland media that has time to address youth and minority issues in a substantive way, or that plays music beyond the indie rock, 90s, or top 40 radio playlists? I mean this flyer is a reflection of KBOOs history of affiliation with Portland’s hippie community, sure, but the Merc and the rest of the media in this town could learn something from the openness and creativity of this radio station. Shame on you.
