I see that I am not the only radio listener that was shocked to turn on 1490 earlier this week to hear a new format. This change is of little interest to most residents, it is geared to tourists who will probably tire of hearing the same description of the Lakes Region day in and day out if they are here for a vacation (who on vacation listens to the radio - plenty of information in the local papers, brochures, etc.). True, it is the most beautiful place to live and visit but they would be better served by putting the information on a station that reaches other states to lure the tourists. My experience with 1490 is that it can only be heard in a very limited area around the lake. I lose it about half way to Concord.
Took the advice of one forum member and e-mailed my feelings - not sure if it will do any good but it can't hurt either.
