I have been listening to Matt since Glenn Beck left WHLO for Cleveland(again). Although I like Beck, I find myself listening to Matt because of the local input he brings. Although he may be a conservative, he lets all voices be heard.

Dear Management Matt Patrick is the only reason I listen to your station in the morning. We need to keep the Conservative views and Good Values that the true followers of Matt are......we have a crisis in our communities, states, congress, senate and this administration. It is important to have someone who is willing to invite local politicians, and to speak about local, state and national issues.

I agree with Rick J. - Get over it!! Management has to find a way to keep good, hardworking employees - Trust me, you won't like the alternative. In short, you will not be able to replace Matt or his listening audience.

What ever the argument you have with Matt Patrick, get over it! I think your station will suffer greatly financially if you boot him off the air. I know I will be giving AM 1520 another look if he is of the air.

I own a business where we have advertised on WHLO. Did it because Matt draws an audience that would also use my product. No Matt - No advertising $$ from this front.

I look forward to Matt Patrick every morning at work. He's part of my morning, kind of like a cup of coffee. Agree or disagree, you know he's speeking the truth as he sees it! That's rare in this day and age. Matt Patrick is an asset to WHLO and to the community. Gordon Harris

I think it is outrages that he was let go because of doing a emcee job for us. The last I knew this is America and we believe in free speech and we have the right to express our displeasure with the way our elected officials are stepping all over the Constitution and trying to eliminate our freedoms with each bill they come up with. I personally do not want communism in this country and our Constituion eliminated. We all have to make a stand to protect our rights, freedoms and our precious Constituion. After all some of our representative and our senators including the white house have made statements of eliminating the Constitution. It is wrong to punish this man and should be reinstated. He is a patriotic American and you should not be punishing him for it. This does not speak well of your radio station if you do not reinstate him.

Thank you Matt for the positive impact you have on local NEO politics. You have so many supporters the station would be foolish to let you go! Your fans will follow you, and WHLO will be adversely affected and ultimately lose credibilty. We will keep you in our prayers.

Please keep Matt on the air. I am a regular listener and appreciate his passion, commentary on both local and national issues, and participation within our community. It would be a shame for WHLO to lose this voice on the airwaves; and, it could well diminish the faithful listenership. Your sponsors could well lose business as well. I'm sure this loss would affect WHLO's revenue.

At first I thought I would not like your show, because I love Glenn Beck. But very fast I grew to love it. It keeps us informed about local issues and you are so nice it is like listening to a friend everyday. Best of luck and I will keep you in my prayers.

We were part of the 912 project. The only true news we hear is on talk radio. The only things we hear on other stations are about the "beautiful" people in Hollywood, movies, American Idol, and what "Michael Jackson did in the bathroom". Great information! Keep Matt!

Matt Patrick has drawn more attention to the tea parties and other conservative issues then any one else in northeastern Ohio media. This is Matt's home town so he knows the players and the issues from the local personal point of view. If you are going to serve the Akron local market you need Matt Patrick. If you can Matt why would we continue to listen to a station of nothing but national feeds when we can listen to the feeds directly from there source ourselves? I tune in daily to here Matt Patrick and if he is not there I will not tune in.

for heaven's sake, what more can one man do???? everything good and decent in our society is slowly being taken away..take a good, caring, generous, self-giving gentleman like Matt and let him leave after so many years is ridiculous!!! we should respect people with long careers, not punish them and us, your listeners...someday our world will be nothing but automation, burecrats, "big" brother, etc. and we will be shaking our heads and saying "when did this happen?? how could we have been so blind to have let all our rights and good and decent things slip by the wayside...i wish i had done something sooner"...pleaseee keep Matt Patrick on the air so I can keep listening to your station....the minuet Matt leaves the air at 9am i stop listening the show..Krissy might be a nice person but she can't say anything without wraping her tongue around her eye-teeth and the daily dish she does always leaves me moore confused than anything! her run-on sentences and babbling are very irritating..please be smart for once and keep the best thing this station every had or will have...we love Matt and this is just awful....

I had the good fortune of meeting Matt recently. When I learned that he was a radio personality, I tuned in to 640 over the following week. I now have 640 set on my car radio and listen to 640 on internet at work.

Matt Patrick gives the best information to its' listeners. I have been lucky enough to speak on his show while getting a law changed. His contribution to our efforts was invaluable! I hear things, especially locally, that I would not know by any other means. His show is needed!

I have listened to Matt Patrick on the radio since i was a kid. I feel his views on life, our state of Ohio and our great country need to be heard to level the playing field and counter the overwhelming surge of progressivism in our area. Do every American a favor and keep him on the air!! Jason Alan

My Wife and I listen to Matt daily, and if you do like 1100 did years ago and took Glenn Beck off to put on, I believe it was Jerry Springer, We won't be listening to your station any longer. Also 1100 has since put Glenn back on their station. I switch back & forth on some days, depending on what the discussion is. If Matt is off, it will be all Glenn!

I missed Matt Patrick at the Canton Tea Party Express because I was in the hospital but I finally got to see him and hear him at the Wake Up Ohio rally. He was absolutely great and a true patriot. We need men like him. Keep Matt Patrick on the air.
