That’s nice, but Christmas music in the middle of October? Sheesh!!

Thank God for my iPod and collection of CD’s, we are never at a loss for our listening pleasure!

Very rarely does the public receive notice of format changes and quite often the staff also receives no notice. Almost anyone in radio can tell you of a time when they were called into a meeting, met the new owners, and were given their walking papers. I have one friend who eventually quit radio because that had happened to her so many times. It's just the nature of the beast. I studied broadcasting in college.

Um, so can small corporations, and even individuals broadcasting a pirate signal out of their mom's basement. If you're anti-corporation that's fine, but try to make a little sense.
