    Best radio station in Rockford. Thanks for keeping the rock alive. Also, please cut back on playing…read morethe red hot chili peppers, as they are the overrated, nauseating, talentless and tone deaf clowns. Their music makes me switch to that rock station that your cast offs now work at. Keep up with the modern programming. Its nice to continually hear new stuff and not the same Nirvana or Pearl Jam song all the damn time. Leave the flannel shirt mumble rock in the 90s. Lastly, your other reviewer seems like she doesn't understand humor. Sorry about those people.

    Below is the email I sent to the radio station WXRX out of Rockford, after I heard their…read morecommentators go on at length about how women belonged in the kitchen with an apron on. As a young professional with a degree who provides for her household, I encourage you to boycott their station and any events they might have. Shame, shame on you. "Dear WXRX, I was truly disappointed Tuesday night while I was driving home, listening to your station as I usually do. Your commentators came on and during somewhat of a commercial segment, discussed Kim Davis (and though I agreed with their comments about her and I myself am outraged by her blatant disregard for her office), but then went on to allude that, forgive me I'm paraphrasing, all women should stay in the kitchen with an apron, and on and on, etcetera. It's two-thousand-fucking-fifteen. To say such an ignorant, bigoted, blanket statement is downright disgusting. I'm twenty-five years old with a decent job that I have a degree for; a "young professional" with disposable income in one of the most coveted age categories. I drive up to ten hours a day tuning in to your station, where I bust my ass in a male-dominated field. I do not want to hear about how I should stay the fuck home and make sandwiches. Though it may be a petty joke for your commentators, ladies like me who have to work extra hard because of the ridiculous opinions of assholes like your employees don't find it particularly funny. Obviously you've lost a listener, and I will do my very best to encourage those around me to boycott your station and any events you support. Oh hey! A couple fun facts, courtesy of Forbes "Top 10 Things Everyone Should Know About Women Consumers" January 2015: 1.If the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female. Women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing, through a combination of their buying power and influence. Influence means that even when a woman isn't paying for something herself, she is often the influence or veto vote behind someone else's purchase. 2.Demographic trends provide a roadmap. There are several important trends driving the world's female population that impact their purchasing patterns. These should be considered when making long-term planning decisions for your business. Three of them are: i.Globally, more women are the labor force than ever before. ii.Women are getting married at older ages. iii.Women (and men) are having fewer children than previous generations."
