As of now:

Signatures at http://www.savekpoj.com/: 10,493.
Signatures at http://signon.org/sign/save-kpoj-lets-bring: 5,093.

Meanwhile … likes at the Fox Sports Radio 620 FB page?

A paltry, mere, makes-me-wonder-why-they-bothered 330.

That's 330 as in one-more-than-329, and one-less-than-331

Share. Spread the word. Show Support. Save KPOJ.

Please rec this up. I never beg or ask for any of my opinions to be recced or kicked; a few have done so on my other posts, and I'm grateful for that. But we have an awesome force here, and we're only as strong as our weakest link, and right now, that's in Portland. Spread the word. Have everyone you know sign and help us be strong, and we'll be there for you when you need us.

If you think so, I'd gladly do it, but I'm afraid a zip code from half a continent away would lead them to ignore my sig, & might even discredit the effort in the eyes of the management.

I hadn't actually thought about that. I'll be honest … I don't know. I'm at least hoping to get this recc'ed enough to keep it in everyone's awareness, and just to keep awareness about the support that KPOJ had/has/will have. Fighting the battle of hearts and minds in my own little way.

KPOJ also live-streamed daily. Caller's from every state listened and participated daily on Carl's show. This closure affects them also.
Thanks!

I'm having a hard time getting used to the idea of not listening to the radio. Although, I still listen to KINK, which I really enjoy. I miss Carl Wolfson in the morning, it was nice to hear his voice and hear local news. Glad that our reps are speaking out.
