Our very good selections and music programming are gone. I have sent 3 messages to complain and they don't even bother to answer. I have listened to this station for almost 30 years and I am moving on.

If you don't think you like classical music, I can understand that. A lot of people feel classical…read moremusic is wimpy or something. The deejays, for one thing; they don't scream or shout or try to hype up callers. For some reason beyond my ken, classical radio deejays have such soft, well-modulated voices, they have to be using a different type of microphone. I think they swallow it and it sits in their tonsils faithfully enhancing every murmured syllable and mouth sound. To understand them, you have to crank the volume, and then Beethoven's Fifth starts up with DAAAAAH DAH DAH DAAAAAAAH!!! and blows out your eardrums. So yeah, there are some issues. But consider your favorite movie or game. What would it be without its soundtrack? If you go to YouTube and type in OST (for original soundtrack), you'll see film music, including tracks that are best described as "classical", has a wide following. So, KBAQ. True, like any classical station, they have funding drives when they ask for donations of money and vehicles instead of play music. I can live with that. And in return, they have a great show for those like me who love OSTs: Reel Music, Saturdays at 6 PM. There's even a The Score at Four (p.m.) show, but I can't find it on their website to tell you more about it. They also have listener-chosen favorite songs every year: their Most Wanted list. Pretty cool. You should listen. And what the hey, donate that old car you don't want anymore. Turn it into music!

We stopped by the grand opening of Luna Grill and it was such a fun little event! There was such a…read moregreat energy around the restaurant, and Alternative 93.3 was there helping celebrate, which made the grand opening feel extra special. Everyone from the radio station was SO friendly and welcoming! They were handing out some fun free merch, and they even took some pictures of us, which was such a cute touch. We also got entered into their ticket giveaway for a rock concert, so fingers crossed! I always love when businesses make their grand openings feel like an actual event instead of just opening the doors. Between the music, friendly faces, giveaways, and fun atmosphere, it was a really nice way to celebrate Luna Grill's arrival. Such a fun stop, and I'm excited to come back and actually try more of the menu next time!

This is completely unprofessional. t's nearly impossible to listen to programs because of the number of commercials they insist on squeezing into an hour. I had previously written to them to make them aware of the many hours of silence in the early morning hours when shows were scheduled to be broadcast. They never acknowledged the problem which went on for months. There is no customer support line and no way to speak to anyone in person there which is probably another way they can avoid accountability. Tune In is truly a horrible experience.

If you love to cook and/or eat seasonally, or garden, Edible Phoenix is a must-have for that alone. Edible (*Insert your town here*) magazines are great. I've sought them out all over the country when I've lived elsewhere, and Phoenix's isn't the best, content-wise (sometimes surprisingly sparse), but it's still great. I pick up my copies either at Jam in Scottsdale or Essence Bakery in Tempe. Here's a link to the other locations for pickup: http://ediblephoenix.com/subscribe/find-a-copy/get-a-copy-of-the-magazine/ Also, their website is sooooooooooo slow BTW, almost brings me back to my 14.4 modem AOL days.

Expect full page, well written articles by folks who certainly seem to know what they are talking about. I've only gotten 2 editions since finding them, but I've been pleasantly surprised in both. Little bit of "where we were" with lots of "where we are and where we're going". Great tips and general advise on gardening and fresh food trends. I already have a few places they recommended that I can't wait to try. I always say you can tell a lot about a magazine by it's advertisers. There are some great ones here. Lots of fun businesses that I hadn't seen advertised in many other places. And I'll say - I'm happy that they're keeping it simple in black and white vs. trying to make the advertisers pay more for glossy paper and a 5 color edition. This looks much more refined - and it helps to keep the advertising costs down for small businesses. Not to mention that whole better for the earth thing. I heartily recommend this as a great pick up. Read it while you lunch, while lounging on the sofa or keep it in the bathroom for some sophisticated "personal office" reading.

I do a car show and if I tease one party or the other nothing happens to me. Then again, thin skin is not something either one of us have.

When I listen to the radio in me car, I listen to Energy FM about 75% of the time. Why? Because: *They're the ONLY (please, pretty please, correct me if I'm wrong) dance/trip-hop/electronic/"techno" option here in the Valley *No annoying morning shows *When "Spin Spin Sugar" comes on, I get all nostalgic & happy *It's got the music that can kick my sleepy ass out of a daze in the AM *I won tix from them once. And I never win anything! Why sometimes I swear at my console and angrily flip the channel? Because: *I can't stand that nasal, whiny voice and personality of "Pistol Pete" *They often play the same shit over. And over. And over again, all in the same day. Yes, like many other stations. *Reception occasionally sucks hard (and then I switch b/w 92.7 and 101.1 to find the better one).
