KSL not 'hip' in dropping CBS

I appreciate Lynn Arave's weekly "Radio Dial" column in the Weekend section. However, the headline on Aug. 5, "KSL is one hip station" is belied by the content of the column itself. Podcasting may be "hip," but is it really "hip" for KSL to give up its decades-old affiliation with CBS Radio, thereby eliminating Charles Osgood, Dave Ross and the Sunday news interview programs? I don't see how affiliating with ABC Radio News "expands its national news coverage," when the regular CBS news updates are no longer available to KSL Radio. And how does this change of affiliation affect the national distribution of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcasts that have been furnished to many radio stations from KSL via CBS?

It wasn't "hipness" that won KSL Radio its past Edward R. Murrow awards. To this listener KSL had a classier, higher quality "voice" when it was still affiliated with CBS.
