    Well we can say bye bye to WJEZ’s quality programming. For a station in the middle of nowhere, it was programmed really well by both Regent and Townsquare Media.

    All I can say is goodbye to live and local. Hello to cookie-cutter playlists, lots of syndicated programming, and the unemployment line! At least with Townsquare, they are local, and they have a presence on the streets.
