Save 88.1 - WUTC

To:  Station management of WUTC

To: WUTC Station Management, UTC Vice Chancellor Bob Lyons, UTC Chancellor Bill Stacy


We believe that WUTC is the best Public Radio Station in the US and that current plans to change the format will mitigate the quality of the station. Specifically, we love the eclectic and varied mix of music and object to any plans to reduce the amount of local music programming, or change the type of programming. In a city where this quality of radio programming is rare, WUTC is valuable to our quality of life.

We are also saddened that the current station management appears to have driven Mary Anne Williams to resign, and fear that others will follow her if the station management doesn't manage better.

We object to proposals to ban songs that reference “god” from playing on WUTC, on the grounds that such a ban will prohibit the playing of a wide range of music, such as blues, Christmas music and others.

We object to the removal of our excellent and locally produced Free Lunch program and it’s replacement with NPR news programming. With several 24-hour news sources available we feel that more news programming is redundant.

As loyal WUTC listeners and supporters, we are serious about protecting the quality of this station and are prepared to withhold our financial support during the next fund drive and in Underwriting in protest if our requests aren't met.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
