Wow, what a nice early Christmas present, and what a nice story to wake up to (on NPR!)
Madison's Air America outlet MIC 92.1 was slated to be turned over to a local Fox Sports format on Jan. 1. But Clear Channel abruptly reversed course!
Look below for the story.
The announcement came just as the opponents of the change appeared to give up, staging a mock funeral procession from the Capitol to Clear Channel's local offices on Wednesday to mourn the death of the station.
Valerie Walasek, a 28-year-old listener who organized the protests, said she had shifted her focus to other options, such as trying to buy a new station. She was shocked by the company's last-minute change of heart.
"It's evidence that as people stand up and demand what they want and demand they are going to take back the airwaves, somebody will listen," she said.
Thanks to Valerie, the mayor, Tammy Baldwin, Terry Kelley, the business sponsors, and all those good people of Southern Wisconsin who did this!
Yes, Virginia, I'm starting to believe there is a Santa...and that the good guys can win. First the mid-terms. Then this. Hmmm... Cub fans, just wait 'til next year!
