I get wanting to have your voice heard - but that's not what will drive any change, because there are always people that complain about the on-air talent. It's just noise, and nothing that stations could actually base decisions on.

That's the point of this place isn't it though - to discuss things and sometimes complain about things knowing it's not going to have any impact. If this thread is an issue then any instance of saying "___ should be fired/cut/traded" should be an issue as well.
One thing complaining does is potentially draw potential new listeners away from the show. If I just moved to Calgary and saw a massive thread complaining about the quality of the afternoon show I'd likely be less inclined to listen and even if I did I'd have a short leash.
It's funny because this is one of the few times where someone could actually rationally say they should be fired because we're all the primary audience. Anything related to on-ice hockey is tough because none of us are professional evaluators and never have all the relevant behind the scenes info. You look at those threads in the Off-Topic area where there's a government or medical screw-up and half the people are demanding heads roll based on an article with limited info. At least with sports radio, we're the people they are directly broadcasting too and it doesn't require more than listening to get all the information you need to decide if someone should stay or be cut.
