I am pretty much bent out of shape about the programming changes that have been made at the Dallas Salem Communications station. Perhaps the entire network has been shaken up as well.
Laura Ingraham's morning show has been replaced, and Dr. Laura has been added in a late evening slot.
Broadcasting in general has had a bad habit of tinkering with the status quo for years. Once a listener punches up the radio button with the expectations of hearing a program he likes, and it's no longer there, chances are he immediately changes the station. He's now been lost as a listener in that time period and probably as a listener to the segued program that follows.
But then I'm a fan of Laura Ingram, and I can't tolerate Dr. Laura, so maybe it's just me who's upset with the changes.
