I hope WMUA will reconsider as many people as well as myself listen faithfully every weekend. I listen from Burwell Nebraska by internet feed.

After all the financial support the polka community has provided to WMUA, this is one colossal slap in the face.

We have listened to the Polka Shows ever since it went on the airwaves. We use three radios so as to listen to the program wherever we go around the house. It has kept us alive! Please restore it!!!

This is a long-standing favorite of many Polish-American Western MA residents. I grew up hearing it in my grandparent's home. I listen to it on weekends, and I'm 38 years old. My kids hear it and they understand this music is part of their culture. It is a memory they will have throughout their lives.

This has been a staple on WMUA for years, I used to guest DJ the Polka Program from time to time and many times we would go longer than our slot time because other programs wouldn't show up, keeping music on WMUA. Please keep Polka music going.

Moves as such usually end in regret. Someone has a bug and this move really needs to be rethought. You have been well funded by the polka people and todays world isn't so generous. Think big time before making a big mistake.

Why now does the university think Polish people and their heritage don't matter. Seems like they don't mind taking the donations?

Polka music is an important part of the heritage of this area. Let's keep it on the airwaves as much as possible.

Please bring the Polka Shows back on Saturday since many people listen to the shows & contribute thousands of dollars to keep the equipment up-to-date.

Please reconsider. This decision is obviously not being made with common sense.

Please let the **HAPPINESS** continue... with so much sorrow in the world we need the music to keep the magical faith that there is still good in the world....

Do not change the polka program schedule. Rationale: part of the culture of the valley, provide early morning entertainment geared to a large audience, provide revenue for the station. Questions - do you think you will find a more dedicated audience for early morning shows, are you discriminating against the Polish Community, what is your ultimate motive
