Can KTNI survive?

Another of my favorite streaming stations, KTNI, or Indie 101.5 seems to be on life support right now. According to Wikipedia, its owner just emerged from bankruptcy. In the Winter Arbitrons, the station only beat out a Spanish language Christian Station and a Spanish Adult station. To make matters worse,its competitor KTNI "Channel 93.3" is almost certainly the Best Clear Channel station in the Modern Rock format. They do seem to break a lot of local artists and their website has a few touches that depart from the CC cookiecutter approach. If I lived there and it was the only alternative station in town, I'd probably listen.

Bit It's not. Indie 101.5 has all the qualities of a great alternative staion, except a good signal and strong ownership. Its program director John "Whip" Wilbur is certainly dedicated to putting out the best radio station her can.
