    Kudos to a station that still has old fashioned call in contests and not silly "text a keyword"…read morenational ones. I won tickets and during my call, the DJ/hosts I interacted with were friendly and the receptionist was also nice. As far as the music played on the station, it is usually pretty good. The mix of 80s, 90s, and 00s adult contemporary music is good for most occasions. If you do need to visit the station, try to park in the limited number of visitor spots and not the roundabout or an assigned spot. Do you like being towed? ha ha Fun fact: WREW 94.9 is owned by Hubbard Radio LLC based out of Minneapolis. In 2011, the 17 station deal rang it at 505 million (cash deal). Phew!

    Our satellite radio broke, so that's the only reason that I tuned into the Sound. See, I have a…read morehuge dislike for terrestrial radio--to me it represents all that is evil about the music industry. Over-played songs by overrated musicians, long commercial breaks, and censorship of radio personalities make FM radio almost unlistenable. The Sound doesn't break the rules or offer up anything original. However, of all the sub-par radio stations in the area, this one at least plays songs that I know the words to. Probably because these "alternative" tunes been played to death, but most are tolerable. On any given day, it's almost guaranteed you' hear Sublime, Greenday, Fall Out Boy, Nirvana, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. They are trying to appeal to the broadest swath of indie music lovers , from Gen X to Gen Y to Gen Z (don't even know if they're called that, but you know what I mean), yet almost all bands on their playlist come from huge record labels. So much for independent music.

    A long time ago Frank Wood Sr made WEBN. He was a corporate lawyer. He had many pastimes with that…read morecashflow, like a private plane and a ballooning license. Weird, my fam met his fam and I worked with members of his fam. The original studio was on the West side in Price Hill. I visited. It was in a blue house with a barber chair on the front porch and the Wood spaniel taxidermied in the office on a bookshelf. There was a room full of Scullys for night shows. That may have influenced my geeky professions. The studios moved to Hyde Park, with the children. The studio has moved many times since and doubt the original family is involved. Today they are a generic broadcast profit vacuum. They could easily get to 5 stars with programming. They did originally, as the very early equivalent of commercial radio as college radio. Radio to listen. I listened to a lot of their wired music I thank every day for my weird musical tastes.

    Just read through the few but very honest and totally correct reviews. I'm aware that I'm almost a…read moredecade late from my other fellow reviewers but here we go. My main issue with this station has been covered quite well so far but I'm going to touch on the insanely annoying morning show (Kidd Chris show). Always desperately reaching to be funny but not the top brass working in there for sure. They will only give a girl event tickets only if she literally allow these goofs to look her up on Facebook and judge her solely on her appearance. Very classy guys! The best part is I've actually seen the 4 fine looking fellows at a couple of shows and let me tell you thank god for the ability to work behind a speaker and microphone where no one can actually see you haha. I agree about the fireworks but wow this station and/or listeners need some evolving or a bit more natural selection to take place. 102.7 sux!! Thank god for technology and pandora and many many more. SMH

    I listen to the morning programs several times a week and learn from these discussions - which…read moreoften have point-counterpoint. however, I was absolutely appalled by the discussion pertaining to birds and protecting them. First of all, I love birds and feed them regularly in my yard and offer them fresh water and some habitat opportunities. I also care for fixed, vaccinated stray cats and contrary to the false claims by the bird people, they are NOT the No. 1 cause of massive loss of birds! Studies by the bird conservationists people, debunked long ago by the Humane Society of the United States and many others, continue to surface. "No empirically driven estimate un-owned cat abundance exists for the U.S." (HSUS) "There is no evidence that cat predation harms bird species at the population level, or that cat predation has ever affected the survival of an endangered bird species in the continental U.S. Habitat and sport hunting" have impacted lots of bird species As one bird conservationist noted: There is more bird diversity in Central Park in NYC than in Yellowstone - and aren't there a whole lot more domestic cats in the suburbs than in Yellowstone? Leading scientists from various disciplines note that climate change, habitat destruction and development are the leading causes of species loss. In fact, loss of birds due to cat predation ranks around 10th or so on the list of leading causes. Get it right!! And please present these viewpoints as well!!

    I don't really have high praise for radio of any kind - there is just so much out there now that…read moreyou can download as a podcast and listen to on your own time, instead of wasting it on someone blathering on and on or commercial interruption - but WVXU is a solid National Public Radio (NPR) station that hosts a breadth of programming from NPR, PRI, and American Public Media. There are really three public radio stations in town - WVXU, WGUC, and WNKU - and, up until about a year ago, they were all broadcasting some part of the NPR slate. But then WGUC (the University of Cincinnati station) and WVXU (the Xavier station) combined forces, and VXU took over all of the national NPR programming and GUC focused it's efforts on classical. WNKU (Northern Kentucky University's station) then dropped a lot of it's programming that VXU was also airing, and started focusing more of it's efforts on more eclectic offerings and local programming. And that's where WVXU fails - there isn't much local or original programming coming out of Cincinnati Public Radio that provokes any interest - NKU and even WYSO in Yellow Springs have much more dynamic original programming.
