General discussion

You're not alone in protesting format changes. This is happening all over the country, as the unholy alliance between NPR and iBiquity (aka iNiquity, the proprietor of HD technology) is muscling in on stations nationwide. See, for example, the Facebook page for Austin protestors (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=112566211435) and their website, saveKUTaustin.com. See also the site for Boston protestors over the changes at WGBH (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=ts&gid=201481030324). Other cities, including Seattle and Orlando, are facing similar changes to their beloved local content. Ask yourself why NPR is aligned against the low-power FM bill, and why is it in bed with iBiquity. This is the move that NPR deems the answer to falling revenues: HD radio. Google HD radio farce and see for yourself (good starting point: http://hdradiofarce.blogspot.com/). Start up a Facebook page! Make contact with others in the same boat! We need to unite to save our stations!
