The day the programing switched I emailed the station with my dimay at management changing. I reminded them that Roula and Ryan won the best morning show with the Chronicle. Why would you change something that was so right. They emailed me back and asked to listen to Sam. I didn't like him on the other station, why would this station be any different. It wasn't. In fact, offered less, I guess Maria carried the last gig. Anyway Mix, See ya! I have changed to the Arrow.
I can't stand Sam Malone. He thinks he's funny when he just sux. I listened to Roula and Ryan for War of The Roses. Now I don't even care to listen to Mix 96.5 at all.
Roula and Ryan and Eric were great together and made my morings...now on 96.5 "NOT SO MUCH" but I wouldn't know as I'm sure a lot of people who have found a CD to pop in because morning radio is so sad... please think about your listeners and what they want to listen to...here's a clue...NOT Sam Malone...really...
I support this petition.
Sam Malone really stinks, and I feel really BORED on the way to work every morning now!! I still haven't gotten over Roula and Ryane being CANCELLED!!!
I support this petition. I only listened to Roula and Ryan in the mornings. I have not listened to this station since they were taken off. I now have satallite radio.
I support this petition.
I can't stand Sam Malone!! what were you guys thinking??
Roula & Ryan were great!
You guys will regret it when they get back on air...they have many loyal listners!
I support this petition. I have not listened to 96.5 since Sam came on the show. I do not think he is funny or interesting in any way. Bring back ROULA & RYAN!!!
To tell you the truch, I only liked Roula. Ryan is such a closet case he got on my nerves, but I would rather have him than SAM MALONE! WHAT A DORK!! SEE YA?!?!? omg its so stupid that he still uses that phrase!
I support this petition. although, i dont necessarily LOVE roula and ryan - i can say that i really cant STAND sam malone. what a band dork. he is a fat boring goof. i like natalie and i enjoy the music and the other dj's but have absolutely no desire to listen to sams nasal tone or ignorant comments or his lack of personality EVER.
I support this petition. HOW IN THE HELL could 96.5 do this... i MISS R&R SOOOOOOO MUCH...as for sam..there is a REASON he was kicked off 104 and he needs to leave 96.5. I refuse to listen to him in the mornings... guess its back to 104 for me.
I absolutely LOVED.................... ..............!!!!!! Roula and Ryan in the morning, I looked forward to their show everyday, and without warning one day they were not there anymore. BRING THEM BACK NOW!!! How could you take them off the air and put someone as boring as that Sam whats his name. Give me a break, that was a very poor move on your part 96.5!! If you have less listeners and poor ratings, you should know why. Becaus you dont have Roula and Ryan anymore. I refuse to listen to 96.5 now, and it will remain that way unitl you bring Roula and Ryan back!!!
I support this petition.And yes I am boycotting 96.5 have not listened once since they left. now listen to 93.7.Mix I Hope your happy with less market share Sam Malone what a loser
I support this petition. SAM & NATALIE ARE BORING &
HAVE NO CHEMISTRY. I
NOW HAVE XM RADIO
SINCE THERE IS NOT A
DECENT MORNING SHOW TO LISTEN TO ON MY
MORNING COMMUTE!
I was listening to Sam Malone today. He was talking out of his ass. I couldn't believe he was so close-minded. I've found a couple of other stations to listen to while he was on. I felt like I was wasting my time listening to his meaningless ramble.
Bring them back!!!!! I really miss their upbeat personalities and quality show. I don't care for the new morning show people and have stopped listening to morning radio. MIX please bring them back to brighten our mornings!!!!!!
Since Roula and Ryan left, mornings have left me listening to everything, EXCEPT the mix. Sam sucks and I would love to stuff a sock in Natalie's mouth.
Bring back Roula and Ryan. Stop the horror of Sam Malone.I rather listen to the Houston traffic or nothing at all in the morning than listen to Sam Malone.
Bring them back Sam Sucks I miss them soo bad before I moved to town I used to listen to them on my daily drive from Brenham to Spring thank goodness I don't have to do that anymore because we all know I would not listen to sam if you paid me
I support this petition. Sam Malone may be a nice person but he is painfully boring to listen to. No personality, no charisma, nothing to keep me tuned in. BLAND!! Roula and Ryan (and producer Eric) had a chemistry like no other morning show and a genuine connection with Houstonians. MIX 96.5 has lost this listener forever.
I actually deleted Mix 96.5 from my radio preset stations on the day that the Roula and Ryan show was cancelled. The replacement hosts have NOT a tenth of the chemistry and innovativeness that R&R had. Bring 'em back!!!
I don't listen to 96.5 anymore. I was a loyal listener since back in the days of Larry Moon and Susan Lennon till Clear Channel gave Roula and Ryan the Ax. I can't stand Sam Malone. He is a horrible replacement and Roula and Ryan did not need replacing. I listen to 106.9 and 99.1 now in the mornings.

I don't listen to 96.5 anyone because Roula & Ryan are gone. They might of been dorky but very entertaining and fun! Sam Malone is too boring in my opinion I miss the good stuff!
I used to look forward to going to school last year in the morning for "war of the roses" and now it’s a lonely drive to work. I now have to resort to only country music since "see ya" man is down right awful.. That was the biggest mistake that clear channel could make.. I bet the ratings have gone down also! That shows that they are ignorant:) Bring R & R back!!!
I support this petition.
What a terrible way to treat loyal listeners by yanking a great team off the air and hardly any notice. Not very professional. Natalie is grating on the nerves and I am sure her "starfiles" causes at least half the accidents during rush hour.
Clear Channel has shown how uninformed "corporate figure heads" operate by not only how they treated R & R. but by who they brought in to replace them.
I tried out Sam Malone for a couple days, but found him very boring. I am now spending my time jumping between 94.5 and 103.7 until Roula and Ryan return to the airwaves.
I support this petition.
I have tried to listen to Sam Malone and Natalie. The mere fact that he laughs constantly at himself is enough to drive me over the edge. To top it off Natalie sounds like a stereotypical blonde bimblo who agrees with everything Sam says. And "starfiles" (in squeaky voice) has to go. Bring back Roula and Ryan and Eric they made the hour drive bearable and they worked well in tandem.
I used to listen to Sam on KRBE back in high school. After I finished college and came back to Houston, I grew out of his show (it just became too boring and unbearable to listen to him)and switched to R & R. Roula and Ryan made my morning drive a lot more enjoyable. Please bring them back! If I want to listen to Sam, I would've stayed with KRBE in the first place.
WHERE IS R&R. I LISTENED FAITHFULLY TO THEM EVEN FROM HOME. I LAUGHED AND ENJOYED MY MORNINGS WITH R/R, IT WAS MY CONNECTION TO THE HOUSTON AREA FAMILY. SAM ANNOYS ME SO MUCH I WAS AFAID I WOULD WRECK.I support this petition.
Please bring Roula and Ryan back!!!
For someone who also has a conservative radio talk show, Sam Malone sure does act like an immature adolescent. If any of his listeners from his talk show were to listen to his morning show on 96.5, they would probably have a very different opinion of him.
roula,ryan&eric are the best morning show ever, anywhere!how could you dorks be such idiots as to think sam malone would bring in more listeners?? mix music is kind of lame-o to begin with but i would listen just to hear the morning show and would lmao on the way to work every day..what is wrong with you people? are you on crack? don't you know what you have lost? you'll be lucky if they come back when you realize what a huge mistake you have made and go crawling back to them. sam malone has the radio personality of a slug. he bores me to tears and his side kick is even worse than he is. what do they read their material because they sound all boring and monotone and like they're not even in the same room. what a couple of weiners. sam sux and please no more billboards you're wasting your money his voice alone makes me want to gag so you can imagine what his face does to me..
