Caught the tag-end of a call to Thom yesterday that gave me my first clue something was terribly amiss re KPOJ. Tried to call them, of course no answer, wrote a frantic e-mail to Carl, then saw the WW report about his Facebook post. Quickly realized it was a Clear Channel station (which I knew but hadn't thought of) and thus the format change. Carl has had callers who are regular listeners from all across the nation, he scored many sponsors for the station, and they're throwing him under the bus, plus of course all the other progressive programs. Guess if they couldn't buy the election, they'll control the airwaves. For a sports format? Will be interesting to see how that works for 'em, but it won't be because I'm listening.
