    I am disgusted with the change in programming on weekend mornings. It is very poor grade broadcasting for us early risers that have been in the habit of listening to the hosts. To have audio from the previous evenings Global news with the annoying intro sounds repeatedly done is incredibly low quality broadcasting. If I wanted Global news I would turn the TV on at 6 A.M.
