Truthful article or RW hit piece? (World Nut Daily, never missing an opportunity to continue the political polarization of America, has an article on this as well.)
Personally, if this guy knows a thing about radio, then he'll realize that ad time is not going to sell out the minute that he flips formats. Any format change takes time.

Nonetheless, if you own a business in the area or know somebody who does and want to support this station, I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to this guy.
