Despite my appreciation for the newest radio station in Great Falls – SAM @ 107.3 – it appears that some people are quite upset about the decision to change the format, going from death/thrash-metal to the eclectic “Jack” format. The writer states that Great Falls derived great benefit from the death-metal format – even citing the creation of the Riverside Railyard Skatepark as one example of the power of “X.” Well, as far as not liking the new “random” format, I’ve heard this complaint from a few friends and co-workers – but the number of people that I’ve talked to that LIKE the new format definitely outnumber the ones who prefer the death-metal format. So let’s put it to a vote: do you prefer the old X-107, or do you enjoy the new SAM?

I love my satellite radio…whatever i want to listen to is there…usually when I want it.
[...] he death-metal format that it had followed for years. The new format has critics, but an unscientific poll over at GreaterFalls.com shows at least some support.
