With the station's immense coverage area and ratings, it should be doing more to please its listeners. How about a nighttime DJ instead of running station imaging between each and every song? The liners are quite annoying and too long; they are often played too far into the ramp of a new song. What about letting the on-air personalities have some fun on-the-air? The station is very plain and lackluster for a popular spot on the radio dial. Is it only the music that attracts its listeners? A great Top 40/Hit Music radio station is WDJQ Q92 out of Alliance/Canton, Ohio (near Akron). Listen in at www.q92radio.com This station is so much better, especially the nighttime radio show.
