Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the Editor of the Commercial Appeal here in Memphis.

Dear Editor,

I know I am not the only listener in the Mid-South to ask their selves this question, �What is happening to Memphis Radio?� The recent purchase of several Memphis radio stations by ENTERCOM has turned things upside down for the people of Memphis. First of all, the former 94.1 the Buzz was taken over by a freaky robot voice last weekend with a countdown that personally had me a little scared. We all wake up Monday morning with the new Crap; I mean SNAP 94.1 and NO KIDD KRADDICK. Next I hear that one of the senior on-air personalities in Memphis, FM100�s Steve Conlee was fired. Both radio stations have changed the genres of music that is played. All of the changes were made by ENTERCOM CORP.
I understand that ENTERCOM owns these stations, and they have the right to make changes as they see fit. An official from Entercom stated in an email to a listener that Entercom spent $100,000.dollars in extensive consumer research. What consumers did they ask? Not me. Apparently they did not ask the thousands of consumers calling and emailing Entercom and their stations in the Mid-South.
Entercom needs to read and listen to the feedback and outcry from the fans. They got rid of the top two morning shows in Memphis and who knows what changes are coming. All I am asking is for someone to listen to us.
The only way we are going to be heard is if we keep sending emails and if the phone calls from concerned and upset listeners keep pouring in.

Sincerely,
A concerned (livid) listener.
