THE LISTENERS STRIKE BACK
posted by James Reel
Just checking in long enough to point you to an amusing (from our distant perspective) article from the Chicago Tribune:
Hell hath no fury like that of a scorned National Public Radio fan--especially in Detroit, where listeners angry over recent programming changes have gone to court, charging the city's NPR station with fraud.You'll find the whole tale here.
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.
