Brother Love Offed
NEW YORK—The ABC network of FM stations, long the bane of the progressive rock radio scene with its douse Love format, is making all sorts of moves in the right direction. They’ve hired Larry Yurdin, formerly head of the Alternative Media Project (CREEM, Vol. 2, No. 14) as national production director for the entire group of stations and are busy making plans to move towards more community orientation in several key areas.

ABC owns stations in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles and farms out its syndicated programs to places like Peoria, Illinois, Muncie, Indiana and San Diego, Calfiornia.
The syndication of various shows does continue, though WXYZ in Detroit, for example, features 10 hours a day of live programming now whereas before none of the station’s broadcasting had been done live and very little had been locally done.
