More News Is No News

Once again, another radio station has been bought, and the new owners can’t wait to change the format with little regard for their listeners (“KPCC Clears Out Music Shows for News-Talk Format,” by Judith Michaelson, March 4). As an avid radio listener, I find this format changing very disheartening and frustrating. Each time this happens, a little piece of me feels ripped apart, and the healing process is slow.

I had found KPCC’s format to be quite unique, and I for one will miss two of their music shows--”Rhapsody in Black With Bill Gardner” and “Ann the Raven”--tremendously. I hope some other station will pick them up.

Because KPCC averages only 300,000 listeners each week, I guess they can afford (ha ha) to alienate them. Looks like I will be letting my fingers do the walking up and down the dial again. Nothing new: Been there, done that before.

Bravo KPCC. Just what L.A. needs: another news station. And programs like “Chuck Cecil’s Swingin’ Years,” the “Old Time Radio Show” and others are dumped. Now, how do I dump KPCC off my radio!
