I wrote to wticcomments@cbs.com just to express my disappointment in no longer being able to hear Jim’s program on WTIC. Sound off Connecticut was the only reason I turned on WTIC M-F 9-noon and left it on WTIC until 3.
Jim gone, I’m gone.
Steve, very sorry that things could not be worked out. Feel quite saddened by the news and will miss it very much. Sure hope Jim will find greener pastures elsewhere. I’ll follow him, he is a delightful host, entertaining, fun, had the best guests and the music was fantastic.
mojo114, thanks for e-mailing WTIC. We'll see if our e-mails do any good (I sure hope so!).
I second your comments regarding "Sound Off Connecticut" and host Jim Vicevich. It's a sad day for all of us here in Connecticut - and beyond. Many days I enjoyed SOC more than Rush Limbaugh's show, and that's saying a lot!
Jim was a fabulous host, and gave callers (like my husband and some of my FReeper friends) ample time to express their comments. Jim was even involved "on the street" with us - his listeners - via tea parties, rallies and town halls. His guests were incredible... the best on radio, IMO! The music and sound clips were amazing, and spot on every time. Jim's taste in music opened up an entire new world of music for my husband and me. We attended two of his "Sound Off Connecticut" summer concerts and his house party featuring Cadillac Sky last summer.
And our thanks (and prayers) go out to the Sound Off Sister, who provided us with valuable legal assistance during the 14-month-long health care debate. I never heard anything similar on ANY other radio show, nor even on Fox News.
I agree... if WTIC is done with Jim, I'm done with WTIC. And my history with WTIC goes back to my grandparents.
I will also follow Jim via his blog RadioVice Online, and look forward to the day when he is back on the radio - where he was meant to be, IMO.
