| 5,376 | 3:30 pm PDT, Jul 26 | David Pindel | Under the current format, The Mic provides balance to the lies and half-truths of the right-wing propaganda machine. We need to keep constructive discussion like this on the air, not add more sports talk! |

| 5,371 | 9:57 am PDT, May 15 | Steve Frushour | ClearChannel is a business like all others: their aim is to make a profit. Radio listeners are consumers with the potential to affect changes in business's practice. Let your program providers know that you hold the purse strings to their success. |

| 5,367 | 1:29 pm PDT, Apr 17 | Cougar Brenneman | Lee Rayburn, and others on the MIC, are Clear Channel's best bet at making money. The fact that such a popular format was canceled demonstrates that at Clear Channel, political biases are allowed to overwrite common sense and capitalism. Obviously, Clear Channel does not fully support capitalism or democracy, but are willing to make decisions from a totalitarian point of view. |

| 5,362 | 11:55 am PST, Mar 8 | Jeremy B Kieler | Because they bring the News that needs to be heard. I am X-Military and the people of the United States need more stations like this looking out for the Soldiers and the people. This is a much needed change and we need it. Favorite Quote: "THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE NOT THE PEOPLE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERNMENT" I consider myself to be independent, I try to vote for the best man for the job. My own words "THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT THE UNITED STATES IS TO REMOVE CORRUPTION FROM OFFICE." Be afraid politicians!!! |

The Mic 92.1, Madison WI
Clear Channel is once again changing the format of one of their best radio stations, this time it's the Mic 92.1. This station features progressive talk show hosts such as Stephanie Miller, Al Franken, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, and Lee Rayburn. The Mic has been a forum where Madison residents and groups can discuss important issues such as animal rights, abortion, veteran issues, cleaning up government, etc. It is a valuable resource that Madison cannot lose because Clear Channel wants to broadcast more "coverage of local high school and collegiate sports."
Clear Channel needs to hear how much we love this station! They need to know that we appreciate the freedom the hosts have been given and that we value the chance we have to discuss issues we really care about even when the popular media is not covering them.
