'Revised' Alabama Radio Station Upsets Snobs

University of Alabama music snobs have been beside themselves ever since the school's radio station, WVUA-FM 90.7, the Capstone, shifted its airplay to top-40 modern rock, the Crimson White reports. In protest, more than 300 students have joined a Facebook group, complaining that "the new playlist does not reflect the interests of the student body and the many talented local artists." The newly named station manager, however, breathlessly defends the change: "We're still playing local music, we're still playing music people have never heard before, but we're throwing in more mainstream music. You're going to reach a broader group of people.... We're supposed to be the voice of the University of Alabama, not the voice of the core listeners of this station."
