The February survey had little changes, with the last month of the existance of AM 1450 as a classical radio
station among the shows being rated. March is the last month KSDO 1130 is an English-language station as next
month, when it goes Spanish, it disappears from the survey altogether. Also, the DFSXmas channel has been closed
down due to budget cuts.

Registered voters have been sending in what stations they listened to each day via e-mail and registration
number, and as for Arbitron, their idea of restrictive voting is outdated and useless for today's music listening
base.
