    Just checking in long enough to point you to an amusing (from our distant perspective) article from the Chicago Tribune:

    The fury in Detroit over program changes at WDET-FM has listeners claiming they were tricked into contributing money to the station during a pledge drive while station operators were secretly planning to junk locally produced programming and replace it with national talk and public affairs shows.
