As a person of Polish heritage, I am disgusted with the kids at WMUA running the station. Who kept the station alive? Definitely not alumini.

As a graduate of UMass I am very disappointed in the way the station is currently managed, I will no longer contribute to its fund raising if the polka shows are dropped.

It's a shame this is being considered and the surrounding Polish community will be greatly impacted if this happens.

We have had Polka music since 1979 and people have donated every year to maintain Polish music. Please reconsider your decision and have polka music back on the air.

I have listened for years on the radio and streaming online. I live in Belchertown and have donated in the past. I will not be donating going forward unless the polka format is restored.

It is a travesty that UMass has decided to pull the plug on the polka programming block. The Polish community not only supported but donated lots of money all these years. These two programs informed the community of Polish events in the Pioneer Valley. It is not very nice of you to take our money then cancel the shows. Perhaps you should return the money to all those good people who donated.

Terrible decision to reduce.community peogramming at WMUA. Restore the station we have loved for decades. As a UMass alumn, I think it is the right thing to do.

I am a double UMass graduate (undergraduate and masters) and listen to WMUA on the internet. Please don't reduce the Polka time on WMUA, it is great programming that many people love. Steve Fil

Polish Americans, and others, I know really cherish what their culture has to offer, and polka music is at the top of their list.

Broadcasts of the polka programming has followed me around the world during my military service. Now that I'm retired I continue to listen in Alaska. Too many facets of our history & culture are being replaced in favor of "the latest & greatest" often times without gain. This is an example of that.
