For years, many of us have started our day with the familiar voices of the Bob and Tom show on Z94 on FM radio station 94.1. The sudden removal of this beloved morning show from the station's schedule has left a void in our daily routines, akin to losing a close friend. It's depressing.

The Bob and Tom show was more than just a morning show - it was a community, a reliable source of laughter and comfort, and an integral part of our lives in Lawton, OK. We believe the decision to cease its broadcast does not reflect the preferences of the radio station's loyal listeners, ourselves included.

Based on data from Nielsen Audio (2019), morning radio shows significantly outperform other timeslots in terms of listenership, hinting at their importance in local communities. The Bob and Tom show was no different and removing it equates to robbing listeners of a key source of local information and entertainment.

Given the evident collateral damage surrounding this decision, we humbly call upon the management of the Z94 radio station to bring back the Bob and Tom show to its morning schedule. This is not only a plea from a group of dedicated listeners but also a request to restore the heart and soul of our local radio community. We urge all listeners, whether you're a fan of the Bob and Tom show or simply value the diversity of programming on our local airwaves, to sign this petition. Together, through our combined voices, we can bring back our beloved morning show.
