My world of music just got much better. For the first time since arriving at this unit, I am able to pick up the TCU radio station, KTCU 88.7. That was the first station I looked for on the dial when I got here and I was disappointed that I found static in its place. The TCU radio station was one of two stations I listened before my incarceration, the other being KERA, the local NPR station.
Shortly after I arrived here a new station came on the air that played indie artists that I'd heard of. KXT started out great, but has been playing more and more 70''s and 80s music, moving away from the new stuff that I wanted to hear. My friend, West, had repeatedly told me about brief periods of time where he picked up KTLV. This gave me hope. College radio was out there and I was going to tune in.
After stripping the cord to a broken pair of headphones and manipulating the coverage for about an hour to find the sweet spot, I was met with success. KTCU came in stereo and even with some static, it was worth the effort. College radio, in all its goofy,
eclectic glory, is mine to hear once again. That includes Fanboy Radio, a weekly talk show about comics, to indulge my nerdy soul. The only thing better would be making my own playlists. Hopefully that isn't too far away, either.
