What?!
How unappreciative of KCRW to remove the show that is most probably
responsible for the majority of Southern California listeners of both
Metropolis w/ Jason Bentley and Chocolate City w/ Gath Trinidad. I can't
believe that neither of two DJs would stand up for Worldwide...
Every innovative DJ/ Music lover knows where to go for the new that's worth
listening too.
I'll be writing to them myself.
Oh well, likewise I will be still tuning into the stream on Wednesdays at
4:00p PST.

Peace,
Ridu Moya
