I have contributed $100's of dollars to the station. Clearly, this will cease. I am appalled at what has happened and would like to lend my support to those who have so clearly been underhandedly dealt with.

The host is boring and also the Dj.The music that is being played is GARBAGE.To the people that fired Ron Nelson is only a FOOL! BUT HOW COULD YOU FIRE SOMEONE THAT IS VOLUNTEERING TO COME IN AND WORK AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE.This reggae program that is on right now is SOOOOOO BORINGGGGG FOOL!.I WANT BACK MY REGGAEMANIA WITH RON NELSON & LISA.

I have been an avid listener for at least 25 years. As a child I would listen all the way up to adulthood. Reggaemania is a program I looked forward to listening to every Friday without fail, this show allowed me to get the latest music, interviews and much more. Now I hardly turn my dial to that station anymore. I hope in the near future that this program will be back on the air so we can hear the sweet Reggae music that we all love:-P
