So----the new owners, in their infinite wisdom, have now turned what was formerly The Whip....WWHP in Farmer City...into just one more classic rock station. What was once the only source for great blues, bluegrass, outlaw country, rock, gospel, and comedy between Saint Louis and Chicago is now just another redundant station on the FM band for Deland, Elliot, Beason, and Seymour? Sorry....and good luck. Who really needs yet one more station where we can hear Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John and Behind Blue Eyes by the Who back to back? Guess Ill just have to start programming my own music from my CD collection while driving. Cant really blame Lonesome Larry, though, for accepting their offer and selling. I sincerely hope he got the golden parachute he needed to see him through his retirement years.Just very sorry to have to say goodbye to a very dear old friend....a damned great radio station if there ever was one----and as a professional in the industry myself off and on for nearly 45 years, all I can really say is Goodbye 98.3. You will seriously be missed.
