95.7 The Jet! Probably my favorite radio station right next to KEXP. Seattle's Feel-Good Variety of the 80's and more. They deliver with tunes with lots of 80's pop, rock, hip-hop, soul, ballads and more. Plenty of artists... Huey Lewis & the news, Van Morrison, Madonna, Run DMC, Sade, Billy Paul...I think they do a good job mixing it up overall. I know there's complaints of repeated songs, but 95.7 is way better than the other stations I listen to. The Jet's morning show with Jodi and Bender is without a doubt the best of all the stations I tune into during my morning commute. I love playing along and laughing at the 'Puget Sound Showdown' - a quiz game where two random callers compete with one another (and Jodi or Bender who take turns) the other will be the question asker. First person to 5 correct answers wins - usually tickets to a show, bragging rights and move on to play again for the title. Listening in and playing along usually results in a laugh to get my day started which is always good. Jodi and Bender also do is a string of songs within a segment called "three songs we don't normally play, but probably should". The Listener chooses a song, Jodi chooses one, and Bender chooses one. Often times the listener chooses something uncommon like a random Tom Petty song, but still occasionally gets played but Jodi and Bender pull some random, and I mean random stuff out sometimes. I was listening one morning, and Jodi put on freakin' The Never-ending Story theme song by Limahl. I don't think it gets any more random and 80's than that. Yeah 95.7 The Jet is awesome. Tune in (can be done on their website too) read more

Kjr-Fm 95.7 - 95.7 The Jet logo - Radio Stations Near Me - Seattle, Washington

5 Minutes of commercials, 2 minutes of talk. Not for me, this station sucks Millen is great but just can't stand it read more

Fake 'local' station, tags itself as #1 in the Seattle Market. Basic research reveals this Megaconglomerate for what it is. Pre-recorded pap cycling through its programming with not a single element of authentic FM radio. This station is a clone, playing exactly the same crap it does in ALL of its 153 markets. Rock on, Seattle, thinking that you're cool and still with it. When actually you died in about 1982, and you don't realize it. read more

This morning I reflected on how fun their music is on the wya to the gym. Many thanks for the good vibes! read more

Helen B is correct in most of her review, but I direct unkind thoughts her way for implying this terrible station is representative of Seattle Radio. This is indeed another one of those faux radio stations blurting its crap over the airwaves. But let me be clear... I am from the 80s. I like the 80s. I try to stay aware of more modern music, but the 80s is my comfort jam. But... and this is important... there were MORE THAN FOURTEEN SONGS IN THE EIGHTIES! "The Jet" doesn't seem to be able to locate that variety. Throughout a day we can easily predict what's coming up, as they endlessly repeat the same very few songs until even the era I love becomes a nightmare torment of audio horror. The government should give up waterboarding and put on this station instead. We play it at work (not my call!) and I am ready to admit to all sorts of things if only they will make it stop! In short, this station doesn't represent Seattle. It doesn't represent the 80s. It doesn't represent anything except the cynical greed that lets a company like this turn a profit on a bare minimum of effort. read more

Love listening to the Bob Rivers Show in the morning. Especially love Joe. Sometimes get a bit annoyed by Bob when he is picking on Joe, but I'll live. One of the best things I like about the show is how much they all adore their wives (well except Jodie). Nice to listen to people who love their families and aren't afraid to say so. The show contains just enough silliness, serious topics and irreverent humor to make It an entertaining, and thought provoking way to start my mornings. The band Spike and the Impaler's is amazing, and definitely worth the drive out to one of the shows, but would love it if they could have a gig closer. As for the rest of the day, I love the music, wish they would add a few heavier classic rock songs, but it all takes me back to my younger days. For those who aren't happy and want to complain rather than enjoy the show, there is a solution. Don't listen. read more

The Bob Rivers show is easily the best thing on radio today. They've got a great mix of personalities. While professional and well-produced, it sounds like you're just a fly on the wall, listening to friends talk... Because that's exactly what the show is. My only gripe is that much like the John Tesh show, pseudoscience does sometimes creep into conversations... I wish they would do a little more research before discussing things which stray into the field of science. read more

I have been listening for years for sentimental reasons b/c this is the first rock station I discovered when I moved here 10 years ago...but they really need to do something!!! It is too "whitebred" of a radio show...not enough interesting perspectives on the talk show in the morning...If I hear Roxette, who really was a one hit wonder, one more time,...or "Sunglasses at Night"...I might go crazy. They have the same songs that really are not that great...PLEASE, PLEASE play 60's and 70's classic hits or rock and find better 80's songs...You all need help. read more

The Bob Rivers show would be best described to the theme of Gilligan's Island Only change the title to Silly Joe's Island with Silly Joe the skipper too(Spike) The Millionaire (Bob) and his wife (Pedro) just kidding The Moody Star (Jody) The Professor (Arik) and Luci-Anne Here on Silly Joe's Island read more

Great station. The Bob Rivers show is fantastic, full of comedy and current events. Jodie has to be my favorite, she brings so much life to the show. As for the rest of the day, they play classic rock songs that I really love. The only problem is they seriously play the same 50 songs every day, all the time. If I sat down and wrote out their day to day playlists, there would be so many repeats in one week, it would blow your mind. Spice it up, KJR! There is so much great classic rock out there to be heard, I can't stand hearing "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band one more time. Even the Fab 4@4 is repetitive, The Beatles have at least 200 songs, mix it up Slayton! read more

Best morning show in town bar none. These guys are a Seattle institution and a voice of reason and sanity in a sea of shock jocks and mouthy political fear mongers. Don't change a thing!! read more

An incredible example of Clear Channel (ahem, CHEAP channel) radio. The same 50 "classic hits" songs, over and over. Wow! I didn't know the "Greatest Hits of the '60s, '70s and '80s" consisted of 48 songs. How 'bout showing some VARIETY KJR!? If I hear "Listen to the Music" or "Hotel California" again I am going to scream. Now if we can go back to Channel 95 and Pat O'Day, that would be great... read more

The best thing in Seattle for Morning Radio!!! I Love Twisted Radio with Bob, Spike, Joe, and Jodie! Just a good down to earth talk show that often has me laughing, enlightened or intrigued all the way to work!! read more

Malky's review is HILARIOUS! This person obviously needs to take a chill pill because if Bob and the gang is so bad, really, why have they been doing this for so long? I grew up with Bob, Spike, and Joe and I was so mad at the ignoramus station triple nine when they left that I refuse to listen to that station any more. Best morning show hands down in the Seattle area. Obviously, their style will not suit everyone out there but they are so much better than the ignoramus shock jocks out there that believe in being crude and rude and lame. Bob, Spike, Joe, Jodie, Erik, Pedro and Luciana feed off each other so very well, it makes the show that much more entertaining. Yes, they are old farts in rock bands, but they are dang good at what they do, why not promote themselves? To the show, keep up the Awesome work! read more

Just not the same for us "old farts" that grew up on it, switching between KJR and KOL. Too much BS and not enough music, plus they're not playing 60's & 70's any more. Not the same without Gary "Lock Jock" Lockwood and Larry Lujack (who lived up the street from me) and the rest of the DJ's of old. But hey, times change and we move on, for good or bad. Great memories though. read more

The Bob Rivers Show is my favorite radio show hands down. I was thrilled when they showed up here after being off the air from the previous station. One of my favorite things about the show is the wide variety of opinion! It's GREAT to have a show that is truly unbiased. To have honest personalities with opposite views that get along so well... Love it. read more

I have listened to The Bob Rivers Show for at least 20 years. From KISW, to KZOK, and now KJR. These people become family in the morning. To the commentator who talked about the slow southern drawl of downtown Joe. He is the sweetest man, and I love to hear how he loves his wife and familyi . In fact how they all love their wives and families. If you don't like the show then change the channel. Even though Bob does tend to interrupt his guests, and often you don't get to listen to someone finish their thought process because of all the over talking I hope they are here for us to listen to and enjoy for years to come. I have on two occasions been able to go and listen to their band play EQC and had a most wonderful time. . When Bob and crew went off the air from KISW it was such a shock to the community. And the trio that they were replaced with -- all they could talk about was porn and the removal of body hair. It was a good day when Rob Arnie and Dawn disappeared from the Puget Sound Airwave and The Bob Rivers Show was back on the air. read more

When the show has it's six months off while waiting for their non-compete to end, I am completely lost. I'm so glad they have found their new home at KJR. I actually don't give a hoot what station they are at, as long as the entire bunch ends up somewhere and stays for a while. Regardless where they are, I listen as long as I can and I switch once the music starts with the midday show. I absolutely love the entire cast of characters. You can really notice a difference when one of them is absent. Spike and Arik are both brilliant as they have proven in previous competitions. Spike is that guy that just becomes a character depending on the subject. That is a gift! Not too many people can have that many personalities and still be considered sane. Arik is the walking, talking encyclopedia that Bob can call on in an instant and have an answer. Joe is slow, sweet and cuddly but he blows me away daily with his quick comments that come so far from left field but they are always spot on. Jodi... I was afraid the show wouldn't be the same without Maura or Kaci but after listening for not too long, I think she is the best thing to happen to the show in a very long time. She is so completely honest! Most people could be so lucky to speak it the way she does. She is so freakin' funny and how I love her laugh. Pedro, Luciana.... both an incredible addition. The show must always remain intact with all of the staff... I truly love every part that makes this machine my favorite way to wake up in the morning. Oh yes, the operator of the machine... Bob. He is so great as devil's advocate. He always makes sure all sides of an issue are presented whether he believes in it or not. What he does takes big balls but he does in masterfully. Love all of you guys. read more

The only issue I have with The Bob Rivers show is that it does not start early enough!!, I am already over half way to work when it starts. But aside from that, the show is great!. Well read, informed, witty people on this show who never fail to get me chuckling and my mind off the road rage!!..Thanks to all of you and keep on keepin on!. read more

I listen to your station for the music. Love the 60's 70"s and some of the 80's. I think you guys are the best on the air, don't change. My only dislike is that I am not crazy about Jungle music. Thanks guys! read more

I listen to KRJ in the mornings now because they turned 1090 into a sports station (apparently we needed yet another one in Seattle). The Bob Rivers Show is like a train wreck - it's so bad, but you have to listen **because** it's so bad. And you keep hoping it will get better, but it never does. One of the "stars" is Downtown Joe, a middle aged overweight southern guy who has the most droning redneck voice in the world. They all seem to be on there to promote their own "bands" and the only half-way interesting person on the show is Jodie. But you can tell she is like "why am I on this show with these old rockers who think they are so cool and talk complete crap all morning long?" They take one stupid subject, like should baristas be on camera at Starbucks, or what they order at their favorite Thai restaurant, and talk about it AD NAUSEUM. Joe drones on and on in his slow southern accent, it's so painful. He really needs to be replaced as he literally makes me fall asleep at the wheel in the morning. Also, there are WAAAY too many people on this show, you can't keep up with who is even talking on the show sometimes - Spike sounds like Joe sounds like Bob, blah blah.... Seattle needs a good morning talk radio show with smart, informed and funny people to jumpstart your morning. Since they got rid of the Stephanie Miller show on 1090, there is NOTHING interesting on morning radio. Please lose the aging rocker fuddy duddies, KJR! read more

Best massage in town! You will leave HAPPY and relaxed - "Bob" runs a clean joint and keeps some real talent on "HAND" . If you like the sweet talkative type ask for "Joe" and he has no problem takin' it DOWNTOWN either. If the leather clad bad boy biker is more your style then SPIKE has your medicine. Jodie ,the newest addition to the stable FITS IN quite nicely . If you like it spicy and enjoy a little SOUTH OF THE BORDER action so to speak ask for Pedro,they say he he hasn't learned to DRIVE yet but I don't find that to be the case. If you can afford it the 4-hr treatment is the best ,you will COME AGAIN ,THANK YOU! read more

The show is an institution in Seattle and is great to listen to on the way to work in the morning, or if you're just around the house. Bob, Spike, Joe and Jodie are all very different personalities with different opinions and have actually challenged me to take a good look at some of my own positions. My son and I had an opportunity to go "back stage" a couple years ago and they were very courteous. What's amazing is that with 4 people, how they don't talk "over" each other. It really is very choreographed and each person knows their role. Our whole family loves this show, especially our 20 year old son, who has chosen to follow these amazing talents into radio as a career. Keep up the great work! read more

KJR used to play more oldies, kind of miss that. I am a baby boomer and like the 60's, and 70"s. Hard to find a station like that, I am sure there is a lot of people like me out there like me. Any chances of playing more oldies? Update, seems to me you guys are doing a little better on the 70's. I realize one station cannot make everybody happy, younger people will not like the 70's and people like me do not like most fast music past the 80,s. I go to sleep with KJR and do enjoy some of your music. read more

Many mornings my commute is long and the Bob Rivers Show helps me get through it. They keep me informed and laughing the whole time. Their various personalities intertwine and entertain me. Bob plays devil's advocate well and brings to life different views on current events. They have a variety of guests that are talented and I enjoy hearing of hikes, bees, blueberries, and local fishing. I love the idea of the 13th man and can't wait for Spike's Seahawk report after the games. I look forward to many more mornings with this show and am grateful they are back on the air. read more

WHAT! KJR GONE??? It is bad enough that Bob Rivers and his crew has left the air waves of KJR and now the dynamics of my favorite radio show in the mornings is no more; But to get rid of Steve Slaton and all the other DJ's, and change the format to what ever it is now...and it is definitely not as good as before the change...I can't help but wonder what is Clear Channel thinking!? I am 53 years old and have been listening to KJR since it was an AM station back in the 60's. Disc Jockeys have always been an integral part of the good local radio stations, and good ones like Bob's crew and Steve Slaton are definitely hard to come by. Their personalities along with the music format, is what makes or breaks the stations popularity. If Clear channel doesn't get the importance of that fact, then they are destined to ruin the ratings of whatever radio station they create. As it stands right now, "95.7 The Jet" SUCKS! I don't like the mixture, and trying to please everyone just is alienating a steady listening group that is faithful to a certain style of music: in this case it's "Classic Rock" from the 60's, 70's, and some of the 80's. Personally, I will change to a radio station that gets that. So I guess that I will go to another familiar station like 102.5 KZOK. I hope Clear Channel will consider asking back Bob's crew and those like Steve Slaton who are both knowledgeable, valuable, relevant, and can help format the station to its beloved former glory of Classic Rock KJR. We miss all you guys that have made Classic Rock and KJR a Seattle Icon for years. Clear Channel you would be smart to get those experts together and ask for their help, because you CLEARly don't get their expertise and relevance to the Seattle audience. BOOOOOO to you Clear Channel for screwing this one up! This is not progress, but most definitely many steps backwards! I don't know how most think about this, but I have seen mostly agreement with my opinion so far...Can I hear an AMEN from my devoted Brothers and Sisters of true Classic Rock out there???!!! read more

I've been listening to Bob's show on and off for 15+ years. Initially I enjoyed it every day, then commercials took over and I stopped. Podcasts came along and I started listening to podcasts. Then commercials arrived in podcasts and I stopped again. I am listening again though now that my commute is longer. I think show lost quite a bit of its edge over time. 10+ years ago subjects were edgier and funnier. It turned a bit into a geezer talk and subjects are often mundane and show often sounds like grandpa's rants over some modern tech. I get that people get older but hey, I am 50+ myself and yet show hosts feels even older. Show members often have no idea what they are talking about. Maybe it's intentional to provoke calls I don't know. Like discussion of online games - somehow sitting on a couch watching TV is a fine social activity while playing online as a team with friends while talking to them over voice chat about all kinds of subjects is a total waste of time. I don't hear many twisted tunes anymore and what is getting played is quite old. Maybe new stuff gets played at other times (I mostly listen 7:30-8:30) I am not sure. read more
