First off, we never dissed SJ by calling it "Baby Boomer Eazy Listening". I personally brought that up since that is an industry comparison for layfolk. And also, it was used to illustrate a point that a shelf life of a typical format in this day and age ON AVERAGE is about 10 years. Connect the two ends, negate the gap in between 106.1 and 97.5, and that's a 15 year run. Quite impressive.
I, for one, was excited that Greater Media had stepped into the fold in the first place. BUT! At some point you do have to try and make money on your investment. Apparantly, they could not do that and decided to go in a different direction.
The sad thing, Juse, is your thought process. You go off thinking that anyone who doesn't share your passion thinks negatively of your music. That close-minded is much like the dance fans that we tee off on. "Damn what drives business models. My fave music needs to be on ALL radio stations, ESPECIALLY on stations I hate (which, I surmise in your case, would be rock... much like the dance fans, since they hate rock as well)".
You're certainly not going to get people on your side with a decisively biased view of the world. In fact, most will now be glad your format never returns. You did it, none on us!
