A talk format listener since 1989, appreciate so much your format. Feel like you dropped the ball during the weekend after Helene. Listened to 99.9 Asheville for info. Needed info on fuel and ice when things were near dire. Bumped into many that were getting fuel and ice for family and neighbors for insulin preservation, really felt guilt getting ice for food preservation. Thought you could have done local remote with ice and fuel supplies for the desperate and info for we the sheep as Tara often correctly refers to us. Thanks for listening.

Your radio station has turned into an info commercial with a little news mixed in. I change the station when Tarra starts in to a commercial segment acting like the advertised company is her best friend! Very condescending to the listener. Just change your format and beg money for a living. Especially MG...he's the worst!!! This radio station is outta control with the infomercials!!!

Alex makes me proud to be American! Great message concerning the swipe of the pen!

I agree with Mr Wilkenson. The ads Tarra does herself are really annoying especially when they sound like current news. I was in sports radio, and we started reading commercials live to keep from going back to the station during breaks. But we never interrupted play. And the "FLUFF" is unbelievable. Telling us we are listening to the person we already are listening to is redundant. It is at least 8 minutes from the top of the hour before the actual talk starts again. A lot of times I just leave and start listening to something else.

I hope you guys are making the money. The advertising you do, especially in the morning, is insufferable. The ad segments are so numerous and long, I lose track of what I'm listening to. I know you have to make a living but, my god, the ads are too numerous and too long. If I hear California psychics one more time I'll throw up.
