I especially commend your steadfast commitment to quality local programming, which is the part I hate to see happening – the loss of two distinctive shows that you did so well for so long – when if anything both WEMC and WMRA should be offering more of, such as John Horst’s “Mostly Mennonite, Mostly Acapella.” I would be at your open house/farewell celebration on Saturday but, alas, O Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again and thus will be with you in spirit. Well done, you good and faithful public servants, and blessings as you move on. May you have many more magical musical moments and no dead air! – jim b., WEMC air personality (long on air, short on personality) emeritus

Bidding farewell to The People’s Pharmacy and the Folk Sampler was hard enough! I hope that the WMRA/WEMC team will consider restoring similar programming on Saturdays. And please, PLEASE–don’t mess with Sunday mornings!
