WBAL is invaluable when it comes to traffic reports.

Beyond that it's an AM news station with a heavy right-wing slant and chock full of ads. If you time it right you can get your news report and get out, otherwise you're going to be trapped amid ad after ad after ad.

I tell all my friends, especially when issues of the day arise to tune into 'BAL! So after a few words of praise-and understand they do want Baltimore to be a successful city again - so report the deficiencies so that we can FIND SOLUTIONS! 'BAL's claim sadly that says they are the outlet for local citizens to express points of view are false when they DON'T ALLOW callers to call in! I've always been respectful - no personal attacks only critical if bad decision makers- or critical of my local team cause I want them to succeed! So your Radio Office staff says it's ok for me to talk - I've written them! But your radio team never allows my call ins to go through! My friends are now saying - 'we miss you 'Nick -in Bel Air! Be brave radio team producers - accept my calls! Nick - Bel Air

Yeah, sometimes the tone is a little flip, but covering Charm City existence requires a little mirth. They regularly break news that the mainstream print omits or misses. Plus, their events page is like glancing at the calendar of someone a lot more in the know. Also, their "Best Of" issue is a grand study in great food, local phenoms, and ballot stuffing.

WCBM radio is far and away the BEST radio station in Baltimore, when considering the quality of…read moreobjective reporting of the news, the local and national talk show programs in their schedule, AND - importunately, the QUALITY of the voices - which is so important to the listening ability of a radio station. In that regard, WCBM has it all over WBAL. It's hard to understand why WBAL is rated higher. I guess one explanation would be the quality of the LISTENERS. The individuals on the air on WCBM have "radio voices" that are FAR superior to the shreeking, shrill, monotenous voices of the personalities on WBAL. I can listen to WCBM all day, and know I'll never hear .... "WBAL 1090 AM, 101.5 FM and the WBAL app. every 2 minutes. ... That gets boring FAST .....

WYPR is the local NPR affiliate station, and it is good for news and traffic in the morning. The…read moreweekly broadcasts have a smattering of interesting tidbits here and there (Baltimore Stories, science corner, wine talk, etc.) but mostly it is devoted to daytime broadcasts of boring talk shows. So during the week it is mostly a place to switch over to hoping they're talking about something interesting while waiting for a good song to come on one of your other favorite stations. The weekend is where it really comes alive with nationally syndicated NPR shows like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Prairie Home Companion, The Splendid Table, This American Life and others. That's the stuff that makes long car rides running errands bearable.

Spencer has fabulous taste in music! In fact, your whole staff is terrific! THANK YOU. My only comment on the weekday early morning show where Ashley is the host, I really enjoy him except when he puts on the "Background" music so loud that it practically drowns out his announcements. Maybe it is just me. I prefer to hear only the music or only the announcement...OR turn down the background music during the announcement! Otherwise, your station is the very best! Thanks again, Pat F.

Once I found this radio station with my initials I really enjoyed listening to it on the internet.
