I'll make it easy for everyone to write KCRW:

jason.bentley@kcrw.org Metropolis DJ

nic.harcourt@kcrw.org Music Director

ruth.seymour@kcrw.org General Manager

garth.trinidad@kcrw.org Chocolate City DJ's

As Ridu said, I doubt Jason and Garth supported the decision. But they
should be kept informed of our disappointment.

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
