On May 17, managers at KUNV eliminated the alternative rock program "Rock Avenue" from its format. THe show was replaced by a rented satellite feed from Chicago.

The event is open to the public and people can sign a petition and also take petitions home for others in the community to sign. Tickets, at $2, go on sale the day of the show at the Huntridge Theatre. All proceeds will fund the Rock Avenue Alliance.
Petition forms will be available at Espresso Roma, 4440 S. Maryland Parkway, Suite 109 (across from UNLV, next to Kinko's) as well as other participating businesses across the valley.
