Besides the new musical format, >you can expect to hear A LOT more commercials on the "new 103.7". YUCK. >Everyone have a great quarter! > >--Jennifer, of the point patrol Oh, I think if enough students complain not only to the new management endlessly, but as well tell the management at the places that advertise under the new format that they will stop shopping there if they dont pull ad spots, they'll take notice and maybe even change back... I find it absolutly rediculous that the new owners think athens needs a classic rock station... if people want it, let them go listen to Magic 102, 96rock, z-93, star94..... I'd known bulldog was sold a few months ago, but I too thought that with the huge college listener base they wouldnt change anything. I've heard they even fired all but Joe from the morning and Phil from lunch... (I think they all quit! ;)) I think I'll go out, win the Big Game and drop 100,000 watts of transmission power smack in downtown athens on 103.5 with the complete old staff of bulldog :) -- Russell (God 99x plays a lot of commercials!)
