30 years of history gone just like that? This show meant so much to the scene in Geneva. Bring it back.

Real disappointed in WXXI for this. The Metallic Onslaught is the only reason I even turn on the radio anymore. Fix this mistake.

I grew up listening to this show every single Friday night. WXXI has no idea what they are throwing away.

I really don't think WXXI is looking at the big picture at all.
To me, it seems that they just don't want a heavy metal show in their programming. They look at us, see the video footage, etc., and just assume we're a bunch of goofs who don't properly represent their typical variety of programming.
They don't see what we do as far as supporting the local scene, and they don't see the good that we're doing for the community. Not just in our immediate area, either, this is all across the Finger Lakes region. We support, and in turn have the support, of artists from pretty much Syracuse to Buffalo, north AND south of the Finger Lakes.
We've helped raise toys for sick children, we've helped raise money to aid an awesome little lady in her attempts to fight off breast cancer, we've emceed Women's Rights To Rock in Seneca Falls as well as Finger Lakes Metal Fest.
Most importantly, our show gives local bands a chance to be heard, not to mention underground artists from all across the world.
But, in the end, I guess WXXI just doesn't care about all that...

A show, run by the local community, and that supported the artists and talented individuals of it's own community as well. They raised money for local charities, and supported local businesses. And they're being replaced, for BBC World News. Another media outlet, one that couldn't care about the locals. This is an embarrassment, at best, and another snub towards a disenfranchised local life. Is it because they're different? That should not matter, or even be considered. They're still part of your life, and your businesses, so much more so than some news executives at the BBC. Every local outlet has a responsibility to it's community, and the people therein.

Yeah it was a great show that always tried to help build a local scene for the surrounding areas and tried to get people to support local shows.

It is hard to believe that this show would be cancelled. It has been a staple in my weekend listening for years and years.
The cast of this show have become invaluable to the local music artists and venues in the region. Have you no sense of community?
Pulling this show feels a lot like a stab in the back to so many of us in the region.
Please reconsider this decision and let us keep listening to our favorite music. We may not be the main stream public, but we are here, we are strong and we want our Metallic Onslaught.
