Sunday mornings will be a little different come July with June 26 being the final Acoustic Alternatives show hosted by John Bommarito. Acoustic Alternatives has been part of the WHFR for 9 years and it is sad to see John go. John has exposed WHFR listeners to several up-and-coming singer songwriters and brought into the station several great local and national talent throughout the years. John can still be heard on the radio dial in Ann Arbor but he will be missed here at WHFR and in Dearborn. Thanks for all the great radio John!
