A Loyal Listener's Disgust
RECEIVED Thu., July 22, 2004
Dear Editor,
I moved to Austin about a year ago and have been a loyal listener to KLBJ since. Imagine my surprise (and disgust) when I read about Powermouth and Peg getting the boot ["The Emmis Shoe Falls at KLBJ," News, July 16], not to mention Johnny Walker going part-time and having to prerecord his evening show (the time I usually listen the most). To top it off, KLBJ plans to air more commercials. I realize that radio ads are a vital source of income for stations, but when you hear more commercials than music, it's time to move on. I watch TV no more than a few hours a month for the same reason (that, and the fact there's not a whole lot worth watching).
I'll have to agree with Peg when she said (in your article) that it's not fun anymore. Looks like I'll be burning a lot more CDs.
