I write this review knowing full well that this used to be Vanderbilt's WRVU college radio station before they sold it. But that was before my time by a few months. So there.
I have only been listening for a few weeks, but it's been wonderful. I really don't listen to much commercial music -- pop, country, hip-hop, or otherwise. And even though I'm a Berkeley grad, I still never listened to their KPFA station and their indie music. Just not my thing.
I'm also not an NPR fan. A former coworker played it all day. While it didn't drive me nuts, I was always playing podcasts in my cubicle next door to keep me from hearing most of it. I personally don't want to be emotionally invested in news -- I like it in short bursts. Having just the top news played for a few minutes at the top of the hour is more my style. So, this station has just the perfect blend of classical and news for me.
Of course, your mileage may vary. read more
