Less Music, More Blah?

Last Thursday was the one day a year when Alli and I talked for more than about 30 seconds at a time.

When we created Radio 96.1, we wanted a station that would give listeners a wide variety of music for people who want lots of music.  Not a station with some goofy morning show that likes to hear itself talk or has a giggling girl in the corner.  Not one with DJs that yap for the sake of....yapping.

On the other hand, we thought it was super important that Radio 96.1 was not a jukebox - it has to be different from satellite radio, Pandora, Spotify, or the many other places you can get your music.  That's why Alli and I are on the air every day, mostly to keep you in the loop about stuff going on locally - whether it's a concert or art show that's come to town.  Plus, we like to give away some very awesome prizes.

Today, we hope you perceive Radio 96.1 is that station and we give thanks to you for your continued support.  When, last Thursday, Alli and I threw format out the window so we could bring you stories of all the amazing things going on at the North Carolina Children's Hospital, we hope you found it as inspiring as us.  Playing a little less music that day to help out sick and injured kids is well worth it for us and the 1.1 million dollars raised proves our community probably feels that way too.  Thank you.



Have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving.
