What the powers-that-be have done to our wonderful radio station is a travesty.
How selfish of them! I'm not against talk shows. However, now there is no
balance. I can't tell you how much I miss listening to the beautiful music that
used to come over my airways. I have TURNED OFF my radio and won't turn it back
on again until the FORMAT CHANGE IS REVERSED. I will not hear anything
INCLUDING FUND RAISING PLEAS. As a matter of fact, so have all my friends. We
HATE what you have done and won't take this sitting down.

My husband and I moved here from central NH. The public radio station in Concord
made a format change just as you have done. Our listening habits changed
dramatically. We only listened during the news hour if we happened to be in the
car at the time. The rest of the time we listened to a music station.

Please give us back our music!

My wife and I have listened to your night jazz program on FM since its
inception, it was one of the few places where I could hear good jazz. I am
deeply saddened that somehow you found fit to remove it from the air....I won't
listen to your station again unless you restore the jazz programming...

"Classic 89"----Remember?
Please reconsider. Eliminating the Classical music format denies the stations
very reason for being.
I've been a proud, appreciative, member. I feel violated now.
What were you thinking??
Please think again!

Having more talk radio than the previous format is fine. Eliminating all
classical music is not fine. WUFT is an educational institution and has a
responsibility to present cultural programming as well as current affairs. I
would be better to have classical programming which is better planned than the
previous format.

My wife and I were founding members of WUFT. Most of our children and one
grandchild have attended the university at all levels. Although we live at some
distance I have been a faithful listener- recently fringe reception has
worsened, I think related to the hybrid digital channels. We have contributed
thousands of dollars to the station over the years specifically for the
classical music programming. We protest the unilateral decision to all talk
radio.

I moved from Tampa Bay nearly 3 years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find a
classical/jazz station (*NPR) I consequently became a donor and a daily
listener. I was outraged when all I could get on 89.1 was chit-chat and verbal
clap-trap. I wrote to the station only to find they had gone HD. I was outraged
that no "music" was available in North Central Florida.
I eventually shelled out almost $200 to get an HD radio. Not an easy task in
Lake City. My opinion is that their donated funds will drop so much this year,
that we may loose everything.. Here's hoping they see sense soon.

Please pass along my concerns. I was honestly appalled that no response to my
comments to WUFT were ever received.
