Well said Martin.   When you think about all the genres of music that has fans but limited radio play, it is very sad.   Ragtime, polka, old country, music hall, etc. are styles that have been relegated to "specialty" interests. When the support dies, so do the programs.

I think Matt had the support, but some empty suit decided the station could reach more ears by programming something different. It happens all the time.

I've been blessed to have a program on a radio station that allows us the freedom to play what we do.   I try not to lose sight of the fact that a personnel change in the chain of command could alter my opportunity.

Listener support is so important. I urge everyone to support their local program when it comes time to raise funds. Donating is the same as voting. There is strength in numbers, not always just financial numbers - but numbers of listeners who are willing to contribute.

Unfortunately it may take more than listener support to save shows, but without the support there is no chance.

Matt is too good to be sitting on the sidelines. I am hoping there is someone out there that will seize the opportunity to bring Matt to their station.
