105.3 is North Florida's leading Progressive Talk Radio station. They broadcast from Fernandina…read moreBeach and are owned by Andy Johnson. Johnson has a program entitled "Down to Business" w/ Andy Johnson. Johnson is joined by other local radio programs, Dr. Laski and my favorite of which is Stan Swart's "Stan the Union Man" which focuses on the labor movement and labor related issues in Jacksonville. 105.3 also had national syndicated programs by radio hosts Tom Hartman, Ed Schultz, Bill Press, and my favorite Stephanie Miller. 105.3 and it's sydicated programs are a very refreshing alternative to the staple conservative programs of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck. The only downside to their operation is a poorly maintained and managed website. Upside to their website is they offer streamed broadcast of their station.

One thing I have not found since moving from Jacksonville is a radio station that seems to have…read morepirated my grandparents record collection to play on the air. My grandfather had this spherical blue radio from which I first heard the sounds that I would come to love. Perhaps I was crazy being the only young male listening to the easy listening hits of a bygone era, and even a few more contemporary hits remixed to the soothing mantra of Jones College. On second thought, "remix" is the wrong word. Yes, Jones College Radio became the butt of some jokes, but in the end I loved it. No noise. No distortion. No irritation. Just good music.

I love music. Seriously, my taste is all over the map. But when it comes to radio in Fl, the…read morechoices seem to be: 1. Country 2. Hip Hop 3. Angry yelling god person All three raise my blood pressure, so I usually go left of the dial looking for the soothing, dull tones of NPR. Imagine my surprise the day I discovered Jones College Radio. People called it "elevator music", "Musak®", "Music to get your teeth extracted by". If you were young and dumb and full of... um, something, you HATED this music. But that's because you were stupid. You didn't know better. Soon you would. My love of easy listening (what Jones calls "beeautiful music") probably started around when my then gf (now wifey) dropped the needle on this Percy Faith cover of "Goin' Out of my Head". It was like having Thorazine pumped into my ears. Going out of my head? HAH! I don't think so. I can't fucking move! Anyway, it was a little much, but it made a deep impression. The real gateway drug to EL though, was undoubtedly the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, particularly the Wave record. O.M.F.G. This record is so stunningly, awfully, gorgeous that I am tearing up just thinking about it. Most of the songs clock in at around 2:30. They're just little pieces of perfection making you beg for more. I've played Mojave 20 times in a row. I know what you're thinking... "Crack". You're right. You don't hear this stuff in elevators or doctor's offices anymore. Now it's "Cool Jazz", which is right behind babies screaming, and country music as most annoying sounds on earth. Anyway, this has been all about me. The station is great. They don't play all my favorites, and sometimes I'm like "wtf is this?", but overall they do a great job of providing something that you rarely get anywhere else. WKTZ IS the best thing in Jacksonville. 90.9 is programmed on all of my car radio buttons, because really, there's nothing else on the radio, and I don't care.

Easy 102.9 is contemporary adult music. A few tunes we heard while it was on the dial included some Britney Spears, Steve Perry, Adele, Bananarama and Bonnie Raitt. Yeah, it goes back a while and that's why it's called "adult" music. WEZI is owned by Atlanta-based Cox Media Group. studios and offices are located on Belfort Parkway in Jacksonville's Southside district and the transmitter in the Arlington neighborhood. The signal reaches as far north as the Georgia coast and as far south as Saint Augustine. [Review 15750 overall - 1333 in Florida - 1254 of 2021.]

As you are heading west on Atlantic Blvd, right before you cross over the intercoastal waterway Bridge, look to the right where you may have noticed this tiny light blue cement block building with a huge broadcast dish beside it - yes that's WQOP 1460! Ever since WQOP 1460 asked my son and our parish Steubenville Orlando youth group to visit the station a few years ago and go "on air" to share their memories and experiences from Steubenville, I've been a fan of Queen of Peace Radio! Their radio program schedule is Chockfull of quality Catholic Talk Shows, daily Mass and classic shows from EWTN and the Vatican. Such a nice change to listen to a "quality" AM radio station that's fully listener supported whose content is both relevant and inspirational.

I especially like that it was the first station to play Edward Maya and other techno-ish tracks. Not to mention that years ago they were playing Filipino-American group One Voice while the other station didn't. Being affiliated with a larger network, they have better contests where you win more money. Their morning show MJ in the Morning is also interesting as well.

Yes, a sport where you carefully throw a kettle down a sheet of ice to score points is now becoming quite southern. Of course, lots of local news but also an "agony aunt", horoscopes and information on local shows and events. [Review 15836 overall - 1413 in Florida - 1340 of 2021.]

I have all three stations saved in my car, but I rarely if ever listen to X1029. They do play new stuff, but it seems like the music that is played really isn't in the rock genre at all. The songs can be heard on the pop or even hip hop stations in the city. I'm not picky, nor am I close-minded to new music, but I want to hear new rock and rock from the past 10-15 years. I don't want to hear the same thing that can be heard on every other station in Jacksonville.
