SORRY THERE ARE NO ISSUES HERE...i understand the dissappointment and the 
sadness at the demise of wevd's jewish content.  I understand the loss to 
the Jewish community.  BUT COME ON!!!! this is a private company that made a 
decision for itself.  they have that right.  it is one of the preveleges of 
ownership.  if there are enough who want that kind of programing, form a new 
station.  obviously there were no longer enough listeners to get the ratings 
for commecial support.  ECONOMICS 101.
