Flipping through radio stations on my way home from work earlier this week, I heard Sonique on 95.7 and settled there.

95.7 is a station I have programmed to my stereo, and I thought it was odd to hear a Euro club song on the station. But figured it was just part of the DJ's dance mix. Nope.

Bye-bye, Mega 95.7. Hello, 95.7 The Party. Well, sort of.

If you visit the 95.7 Web site, you'll see the Mega format is not gone. Clear Channel's now playing the reggaeton and hip-hop format online as well as on the 95.7 side channel on HD radios.

But that's not enough to satisfy Mega fan Yesenia Saenz.

Yesenia e-mailed me -- after I got in touch with her through 95.7 DJ Issa's MySpace page -- andshe didn't take the change lightly.

"I was sooo mad, sad, confused. I thought maybe they changed to a different station without letting the people know. I was searching up and down the dial trying to look for it. It felt like I lost something. It was kinda emotional for me."

Yesenia, who is 24 and lives in the Brighton area, said she loved Mega's bilingual format.

"That is what made the station so special to me. Like finally a radio station that fit me perfectly as a bilingual Hispanic young person living in Denver. I also found it insteresting to learn new styles of music like reggaeton and Spanish ballads. Thanks to Mega that is where I found my new love for Bachata music ( Domenic Marte), which I had never heard before and I was just blown over with amazement of how cool that music is.

"I could relate to the music with the regular hip-hop/ rap still in the song but not too much of the derogatory topics that are popular today like lyrics from 50 Cent and Ludacris."

Mega voices linger on The Party as the popular DJs Rafael Medina and Issa have stayed on through the transition.

However, radioandrecords.com reports that DJ Psycho and Mr. Groove are gone.

A new voice on the station is Whoopi Goldberg, hosting "Waking Up With Whoopi." Also, you'll hear Joe Bevilacqua, director of FM programming for Clear Channel Denver, wearing his disc jockey hat. I left messages with Joe's assistant and on his voicemail this week, but I haven't heard back from him yet. If I do hear from him, I'll update.

As the format morphed from Latin dance to Michael Jackson and Tone-Loc earlier this week, some radio listeners chimed in on denverradio.net when they detected change on 95.7.

"Ross L-Town" asked if The Party is a "gay station" and "Concern" made a guess about the station's future, writing, "I could almost predict the stations life cycle: Hire white DJs, until people start to question why are we hearing Black music with white DJs? Then CC will hire Black DJs and lean towards true Black station, then because of Denver's small Black audience, they'll flip to country. You'll see."

But Yesenia said she hopes Mega fans won't have to go through that.

"I hope someone out there who knows about petitions and such gets something moving about this. I would really like to get invoved because it was not right and I have no idea how to start something like that. It came with no warning no last goodbyes, nothing," she said.

If you don't like what you're hearing on 95.7, here are some stations that regularly do well in the ratings. And Radio 1190 is always fun too.

Yesenia's reaction?

"I listen to my iPod now at home and while I drive I pop in my old CDs that have been collecting dust. Occasionally I listen to 96.1 KISS-FM until they put on those rock punk songs I am not into then back to CDs."
