95.5 WBRU used to be one of my top picks for radio stations set in my car. Not so much anymore…read more It is rare that I stop on the station for more than 1 - 2 songs at a time. It really is a fall back as others have mentioned. It has fallen into playing less rock and more "whine". The music though, does not stop me from entering contest upon contest that they offer, more-so online than on-air. Most recently, I won 10 tickets to a Rob Zombie concert on December 3rd at Mohegan Sun. Using a descriptor that a friend of mine often uses. . . "bomb!" a.k.a. awesome!, great!, cool!. Whats not so cool? Being given very little information and direction towards actually getting those tickets. "Between Monday - Friday from 9 - 5, come pick up your prize." Where exactly is that station? Anywhere to park? Where in the building do I go? Figuring it should be simple enough, I went online and eventually found the address of the station. Drove over there (it's located in the middle of Brown University's campus). . . no parking in site. Walked blocks after finally finding a pull-off, entered the building. . . and found no one. No one at the front desk (with is through a couple doorways), no one answering the operator line on their telephone number listed online. After a bit of pacing back and forth outside, I decided to give it another shot. . . finally found someone inside who was able to get me my tickets. None too easy. . . but I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for the prize, none the less :-D Can't wait to go to the show. Perhaps if they had a little more direction, or a section on their website explaining prize pickup. . . or simply someone who answers to phone so as to ask some questions. First time prize recipients. . .need a little more direction than they are given. Overall, a mediocre radio station with some great contests and prizes!

WBRU why oh why do you taunt us Connecticut people? Every time I travel to your beautiful state I'm…read morereminded just how good you Rhode Islanders have it regarding radio stations. Well, at least you have one good radio station. WBRU isn't perfect but I would kill to have a radio station like it in Connecticut. I can only tolerate so many times listening to Demi Lovato or Bruno Mars. Today during my morning commute I swear the same Justin Timberlake song was playing on three stations at the same time. We have and always have had some of the worst radio stations in the nation. Other than the fact that WBRU's signal doesn't reach my place of residence, WBRU's only real negative is that it does play an exceptionally large number of older songs. I'm all for the classics but I actually prefer listening to new and exiting stuff. Although I admit sometimes it is nice to crank up the volume when hearing The Smith's How Soon Is Now over the airways. I end up turning up the volume a lot when traveling through the Ocean State. Unfortunately my blissful ride usually ends with me driving into Stonnington (I lose the WBRU signal around there) and immediately being greeted by a blabbering Justin Timberlake :-( So Rhode Islanders please pray for your nutmeg neighbors. We live in a soul-less radio hell and I can only hope that someday the station boosts its signal to eleven so it reaches us over here.

My personal favorites are Paul & Al who host the 5:30-10:00 a.m. slot. They have Stump the DJ" hour on Thursdays, where callers call in with jokes and Paul & Al attempt to get the punchlines before the caller. Usually amusing. A bit too much airplay of hair bands for me but that aside, if you are looking for just good, solid rock n' roll, this is the place to tune in to. Oh yeah, you can listen live on the web. http://www.whjy.com/main.html

Pressing the seek button a few times, I said "Radio, radio, please give me some good tunes, oh…read moreradio!" It landed on B101 and stayed there for the weekend. The 1980's is my favorite decade for music and this station had a good variety of songs I knew from Wham!, Billy Joel, Tears for Fears, Stevie Nicks, Journey and UB40. Other than the usual "You can get us on your smart speaker" commercials and reminders that they're an iHeart station, it went pretty well. I would look for this station the next time I'm in the Providence area. [Review 15262 overall, 764 of 2021, number 30 in Rhode Island.]

As part of panhandling over the airwaves, this NPR affiliate offered an orange standard size mug for generous listeners charitably emptying their wallets. The mug arrived clean and ready for liquid. The finish is shiny and is thoughtfully adorned with bold white letters. All things considered, a basic mug is all you need to enjoy a cup of tea or creamy, rich hot chocolate. Your financial contribution not only helps buy the highest quality studio microphones for those sobering, mentholated voices, it helps people who work in mug factories buy radios to listen to public radio. The bottom line is that if you turn your dial to Rhode Island Public Radio you need this mug. Are you listening?
