WOW! Mr Glavin, I am not a listener of WMJX, but I must say your diatribe is
uncalled for. There's always the ying and yang of popular culture vs nitche
programing, and WMJX covers the Adult AC market. In fact, I believe their
the only station in Boston Metro with that format (WZID and WHOM ot the
north, WWLI(?)(105.1-Providence is what I'm refering to) to the south.

You and I may not like it, but it is a very popular format. Now if you're
saying that WMJX doesn't do Adult AC as well as WLTW in NYC or WHOM or
someone else in the same format, well, that's fair game. But to trash the
station just because it plays Adult AC, well I would take issue with that.

The station is reaching a pretty wide audience and seems to do a pretty good
job of what there trying to do.
