Sonic Spectrum Leaves KCUR

One of our favorite Saturday traditions is getting fucked up. Oh, we can still wake up around noon, one, whenever, brew a pot of coffee and turn on 89.3 KCUR, but once Cyprus Avenue is over, we’ll hear … what?

For three four and a half years, KCUR’s Sonic Spectrum, on from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, has brought hip, modern and classic underground music to the KC airwaves. Its host, Robert Moore, is leaving the station. After a few weeks of archived episodes, Sonic Spectrum will be going with him.

Moore had been with the station for 12 years, lately working as music director as well as Spectrum host. He’s been active in the local music scene, too, starting up a label and booking shows. He says he hopes to find another outlet to continue Sonic Spectrum — could be another station, a podcast, syndication, etc.

Sonic Spectrum with commercials? We’d still tune in.
