"Enjoy the poorly received soft rock of..."

In the late '80s, a radio station that had changed to a soft rock format here asked listeners to call a phone number and leave their comments.  Surprisingly, when the station ran promos for the new format, it included some of the negative feedback.  I suppose the station deserved praise for representing all points of view, but it was strange to hear a promo in which the first reaction from a listener was, "I don't like it," and one of the other reviews was, "I used to listen to your station all the time, but now, I hardly ever listen."  I've still never heard any other station take that approach.
