Guess what.  This has been in the works for a LONG time.  Hugh
Christenson, the former owner of the Bulldog, didn't want to use it as a
tax write-off anymore, i guess.  Still, even being as informed as I am, it
came as a HUGE shock when they changed the entire format of the Bulldog.
I was under the assumption that it would still be the same old lovable
alternative, just new owners, and maybe a new name.  I don't think 99x
could hold a candle to 103.7, only because of the extreme diversity of the
Bulldog and the flexibility and enthusiam in playing local music. 

Complaining isn't going to help (much).  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!
