** A Buried Treasure! **

Jeff Foxworthy said, "If you mow your yard and find a car, you might be a
redneck." Well, I just found a buried treasure right in my back yard, and
I'm calling myself a fool for not discovering it earlier!

KHYI 95.3 FM is a station on the northern fringe of the Dallas/Ft Worth
area, with its transmitter north of McKinney and headquarters in the North
Dallas suburb of Plano. In their words, they play both Country *and*
Western -- tracks from alt.country artists like Bad Livers, Lucinda
Williams, and Whiskeytown, plus classics from Tom T. Hall, Johnny Cash, and
Merle Haggard.

And they also play tracks from *all four* Dixie Chicks releases!
Yesterday, I heard "Pink Toenails" for the first time ever on the radio.
Later in the afternoon, they played the current Top 10 hit "Tonight, The
Heartache's On Me". This morning, I called up and requested "She'll Find
Better Things To Do"... they played it within ten minutes!

According to the info on their web site, KHYI "The Range" is owned by an
alumnus -- refugee might be a better word -- of the Chancellor Media
mega-broadcasting empire. The air staff has roots in Dallas and Texas
independent radio, including community station KNON. You may recognize
KNON from my Discography page as one of the only stations to put the Chicks
in rotation before they hit big... and the DJ behind that station's "Super
Roper Redneck Radio" is now on the staff of KHYI.

This station is the best thing I've heard since TwangCast
(http://www.twangcast.com/) played "Planet of Love". If you're in the
Dallas area -- anywhere from northeast Tarrant County on up to the Red
River -- tune them in at 95.3 FM.

If you can't pick them up -- most of Ft. Worth may be outside their range
-- you can tune them in on their 'net broadcast. In fact, KHYI and
TwangCast.com make the perfect online alt.country combination: while KHYI
is a regular radio station with DJs and a request line, TwangCast strips it
down to nothing but the music. Choose yer poison!
