Excited
For people who are fans of seeing (hearing?) positive Asian American images on the radio, this will be a one-two punch: Energy 92.7 – the independent radio station which regularly brought BoA to San Francisco was bought by new owners a couple of weeks back, and immediately changed formats. To add insult to injury, Elvis — formerly of The Doghouse, the team of shock jocks fired in New York for a series of anti-Asian American pranks — is the new morning DJ. SFist has been writing about Elvis’s anti-gay morning pranks and include addresses where you can write about your displeasure.

UGH! I hate the new station! I miss the pop remixes that you never hear anywhere else, the local community ads, and Fernando and Greg on my way to work in the morning. Way to kill the culture, new owners!
