WHRV FM 89.5

When I get tired of Sirius or listening to Talk Radio, in tune into NPR. They definitely have a liberal slant, which I can put up with. However, after a while, I need to switch the station. Part of the reason is that they are almost whispering sometimes and it almost puts me to sleep. Not good when I am driving into work at 5 in the morning trying to stomach the World BBC. I do like the traffic reports and getting the news.
I do like Out of the Box, Prairie Home Companion, and Wait Wait Dont tell me. Good programming, but I just wish they didnt have to do it on the government dime.

Public radio is the way to go. Quality content and no commercials. I like to listen to the news during my commute as well as Out of the Box in the evening, when they play songs from new releases each week. Mostly I listen for the national programming. The local deejays, some of them, sound horrible and definitely don’t have a voice for the radio. I wonder how they got their jobs. Am I the only one who notices that?

I am addicted to WHRV. I attempt in vain to explain to people who don’t live here what a fantastic public radio station we have and, well, you just don’t get it until you’ve experienced it. If you’re new to the area, program 89.5 into your system and keep it there.
We actually have two stations, one exclusively for classical music and this one, WHRV, for news, talk and other music programming.
In addition to some of the great national shows like This American life, The Jefferson Hour, Marketplace, and Talk of the Nation, WHRV features original local programming.
«Hearsay with Cathy Lewis» comes on weekdays at noon and covers hot topics of all sorts from a regional angle and features a variety of guests. «Out of the Box» is a great music show that showcases brand new music exclusively and focuses on off-​the-​beaten-​path rock, blues and Americana. There’s also a great jazz show.
