We the undersigned are disappointed with the programming changes that have been announced on 96.5 The Mountain. We are loyal listeners, and we feel that the changes are not for the benefit of the Chattanooga market. Chattanooga is a diverse town, and we do not need a cookie-cutter station. The Mountain was perfect for this town, and it was loved by many. Please revert to its previous state, including bringing back the Jason and Brad Morning Show and returning to the music previously played on the station.

Thank you for your time.

The Mountain was a great station, when they were playing all the great alternative stuff. I kid you not it was the only radio station I ever listened to. Usually I just listen to C.D.s because I'm so picky about what I'm listening to. The Mountain was just about the only station I cared to tune into when I did listen to the radio. Honestly the mountain blows now. I rarely listen to the radio, and now when I do I steer very clear of 96.5. I understand it's probably the corporate executive types that made the decision "let's cater to a different demographic", "we need more snot nosed 12 year old girls listening". I say we stick it to them, bring back the old 96.5!!

I'm a pastry chef so I get up at insane hours. The only radio station that I use to listen to was the old 96.5 with Brad and Jason in the morning. The humor and music was the only thing that got me through the day. I am now currently forced to listen to the spanish radio stations because I'm sickened by the new 96.5. This reminds me of when MTV stopped playing music and focused on more reality tv. Please bring back my sanity!!!!!

The "new" mountiain sucks. I really miss the good alternative rock that we all loved, and i REALLY miss the "Live & Local" morning shows!! Now we have some syndicated BS that's boring to everyone but 12 year olds. I mean, give me a break. You guys all used to pride yourselves on how you were the only station in Chattanooga of that genre music with a live and local show. What a bunch of sellouts. Now if I want a live and local show I have to listen to US 101, and although it's been painful, I'M GETTING USED TO IT. Seriously, bring back what used to be. You guys were so much cooler then.

To have had a "local" morning show in a market the size of Chattanooga that reached all the way to my home in North GA (where there is no radio market), was a great part of my morning. I miss the generational gap banter between Jason and Brad! To have turned on the radio one morning, expecting to hear the boys, and be subjected to Nelly....Please.

I travel to Chattanooga on summer and winter breaks....and I used to enjoy listening to the wide variety of GREAT music.....conformity sucks.

I love Jason and Brad, but I can't stand the most of the music that's on the staion now. Plus, the morning show is the most annoying thing I've ever had to endure. Seriously, it makes me want to stab out my brain with a rusty razor.

the new mountain sucks. and now i just get pissed everytime i'm in the car. i wonder if the DJs are also pissed that they have to play crappy music. i want my music backkkkkkk.

I appreciate the connection that local DJs have with their audience. My love of listening to the radio vs the Ipod involves the people...the banter of the caller and the DJ. I miss the Jason and Brad show. The argumentive dialogue was like Championship Wrestling. I knew it was fake, but I let myself be caught up in it despite my common sense. Jason and Brad know their listeners and they love them anyway...Kraddick...he plays for a homongenized audience who will take what's on the rack because it's cheaper and easier to get. Guess that makes your morning programing Walmart-radio.

The popular music draws my children's attention....then they begin making lewd comments and having on air conversations with kids who are OBVIOUSLY underage that includes sexual comments. This should not be allowed. I would not complain if it were targeted to adults, however, this is the music that my teens and preteens listen to. This should not be allowed. If your gonna play kiddie songs, then keep the conversation "kid-friendly." I like the other format much better anyway.

The new format sucks. The Mountain was one of the best locally run, genuinely cool radio stations I have ever heard. Now it's trash. Bring back the good music!

Alright, I'm pretty sure we all agree that, while no offense meant to Gays, 96.5 is BEYOND gay now. It's strayed right into Richard Simmons territory. Come on peoples. Fight to save the music!

The Mountain was much better before the change. I will no longer listen to the Mountain until it changes back.

Even though I don't live in Chattanooga any longer, it was always the station I listened to when I was there. PLEASE BRING BACK THE MOUNTAIN THAT WE ALL MISS AND LOVE!

Too many of todays radio station have gone r&b and hip-hop. We are forgeting that rock and roll was a major breakthrough in music and we need to continue to cherish and support it. Plus changing a radio station in a town where only five coem in really sucks!

I had been listening to the Mountain since I was in 8th grade. I am now a grad students at UGA and I was very disappointed when I came home to Dalton last week and heard the new version on the air. For the first time since I've been driving I don't have 96.5 on my presets anymore. They need to do like Coke. When "New Coke" didn't work they went back to Coca-Cola Classic.

I understand that they changed the format to try to boost listeners however, I have listened since the mountain came on the air. Now I dont. I cant stand the teeny bopper music. I miss the old stuff!

i have been a long time listener...LONG TIME....and i called the "new" station about a week ago. I wanted to know who sung the song that was being played. The guy that answered the phone told me he didn't know. I still never got an answer....isnt that the job of that man??? The old mountain would have never done that. I used to have mountain on speed dial on my phone and on my radio...now its on neither

I've been a fan ever since the station was first broadcast over the air. I couldn't believe the crap I was hearing when I turned on the radio after getting back from school. What happened to the music, because whatever you're playing right now isn't remotely close to music.

the change in 96.5 the mountain should be called the death of 96.5 the mountain. people tuned to this station to get away from all the pop-rock crap on the other stations, and now that's pretty much all you hear. pretty. this was my favorite radio station. i knew it was going down hill the moment they fired fat kid b/c they said they were "going in a new direction." the hell with corporate radio. they're killing the good stations. and the new on air people suck!!! bring back fat kid and oz!!!
