Time To Boycott FOX 96.9FM

Ugh, some people just don’t have any sense. Recently 96.9 stopped carrying Bob & Brian. I’m a bit miffed. I thoroughly enjoy their show, and now can’t get it over-the-air for a third of my morning commute, when I can start picking up their home station 102.9 The Hog. During that blacked-out portion of my commute this morning, I went to 96.9′s website and lodged my complaint, “Bring Bob & Brian Back!”

In response, I received this email:

Thanks for your comments. I, too, was a huge fan of Bob & Brian, and listened to their show every morning.

However, we have been getting feedback from many people that wanted music in the morning, and ultimately we made the decision to go that route.

I hope you will continue to listen to New Rock 96 9 The Fox.

Regards,

Guy Dark

To which I replied:

Nope, I’ll be streaming 102.9.
I’ve always had plenty of choices of music in the morning, and you don’t play anything I can’t get somewhere else. Plus it’s just more of the same music over and over. Dull and repetitive is every station’s comfort zone.
I only had one OTA choice for good, funny talk, thankfully I live in an age where I can stream the product I prefer into any radio with my phone. Choice is today’s wind of change, I guess.
To that, I received no response.  Static, you could say.
