Hello Mr. Barnett. I enjoy listening to Kdes 98.5 out of Palms Springs, but there's a big problem. I live in San Bernardino, and we barely get the "Greatest Station" from it's broadcast area. The problems is, that mexican "crap" music over powers the station which makes me very angry listening to that bull over the Best station in the nation. I know it's impossible to get a clear reception, but i sure wish there was some way you could stop that mexican junk from over powering and interfering.

Bettye, just to give you a clue (or two): Mexicans are entitled to listen to music, too. Your chief problem is that you live too far away from Palm Springs radio signals, which have a tough time getting out of the Coachella Valley and then battling with stronger, closer, signals in the Inland Empire. Plus, Glen Barnett is dead. Any questions?

P.S. The FCC regulates the power and frequency of local radio stations, not the stations themselves.

I would like to sponsor an event with Hal Blaine in the Westfield Mall where he can sign items and be interviewed on the air live
