KOHI used to have a "Good" C&W local sound. Not canned. When Forrie Smith owned it, the station was local. Forrie worked on the air there for years. I think he still has or had? a program recently. He sold the station (Volcano Broadcasting) as he was burned out. Forrie is probably 50ish now. But canned talk from a "nothing" network will not bring in the listeners. It was always a fight to keep listeners anyway, being so close to Portland. That was the big advantage of being local. Without that, then why even listen to KOHI, when Portland stations are 25 miles away? But of course is is less expensive to run canned stuff.
