With KRCL moving to replace its volunteer daytime DJs with professional DJs (Read Article), City Weekly asked Matt Torres of The Coffee Connection if he thought the move would give public community radio a shot in the arm or does it just amounts to a corporate sell-out:

“I don’t think it’s necessarily selling out. I’ve only been listening to KRCL for a little while, and I like the programming, but I think [hiring professional DJs] will probably just help them out in the long run. Because it will probably help get new listeners who aren’t used to public radio.”
