The Difference radio show is no longer in production, but please explore
the world of Todd Rundgren at
The Todd Rundgren Connection
September 26, 1997
Dear Affiliate,
We regret to inform you that as of October 26, 1997, THE DIFFERENCE will no
longer be produced. Over the past few years, THE DIFFERENCE has treated us
all to great music and some of the best acoustic performances available,
all delivered by a charismatic Todd Rundgren and most recently the talented
Elise Brown. Unfortunately, constant changes in affiliate needs have put a
strain on the program that we cannot overcome.
We thank you for supporting THE DIFFERENCE, and we thank our producers at
WXPN-FM in Philadelphia. We hope to work with you again on future projects.
If you have any questions and/or comments, please give us a call at
212-xxx-xxxx ext. 238.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Pierce
Director, Affiliate Relations

I get many, many requests for shows or portions of shows that I've made it my policy not to
honor any of them. However, a number of listeners may be willing to get into the Difference
trading business. If you have an interest in trading, or are seeking a show or performance from
a show, visit
The Difference Trading Post.
