“I want more music, less talk and more niche channels that play bands that are independent and not mainstream.”

Teresa GuiaSophomore,chemistry major“I would like less ads, more music and more Spanish channels featured.”

Kiowa HoweryJunior,family, consumer and nutrition sciences major“I want less talk. It seems like what you hear on the radio is just commercials.”

Terri PourahmadiDeKalbResident“I want less commercials and more blues and jazz channels. However, the Evening Public Radio has a good format already.”

Ann KijowskiCortlandResident“Absolutely less talk, less stuff and more music. Also, some specialty stations like classic rock, oldies, blues and jazz channels.”

Timothy NjueDeKalbResident“I want less commercials and less talk, because usually they don’t even complete a song before they start talking and sometimes they sing along with the end song, and that is really annoying.

James SearingSophomore,electrical engineering and mathematical sciences major“I want less advertising; the more music the better. When I am in the car I want to hear as much music as possible. I also want to hear stations that play all music.”
