Sunday Sound-off: What are your radio presets?

Published Aug. 22, 2010 at 11:13 p.m.

The iPod -- and other personal music devices -- has taken a big chunk out of the number of radio listeners, but when it comes to morning and afternoon drive-time programming, many of us still flip through the dial, trying to find something we like.

Be it music or talk, there are a number of options in the Milwaukee market.

For our question of the week, we'd like to know which stations are on your preset list.

Use the Talkback feature below to share your favorites.

I just removed 88.9 from my presets last week. I feel better because of it. My presets are 91.7, and then 9 other stations my wife likes.

Forgive me if I seem flippant but I believe this is an irrelevant question. To me, anyways. They all sound the same. I only switch to AM 620 for the odd Packer or Brewer game. And what does this say about Milwaukee? At work I stream KWJZ, a Seattle smooth jazz station through my computer since Brewtown doesn't HAVE a jazz station anymore.

Dock my phone in the cradle in my car for morning and afternoon drive. Best $30 I've spent in a while. NO COMMERCIALS! The fews times the radio's on it'd be 102.1, 88.9, 88.7 or 620 for sports.

Downtown to bloom

The Blue (formerly known as the Reuss Federal Building and Plaza), 310 W. Wisconsin Ave., is adding a garden market to its outdoor plaza.

Bartlett leads The Lake

Gretchen Bartlett is the new host at 94.5 The Lake WLWK-FM, where she is excited to be behind the microphone. In the mornings, she`s the one who guides you though the commute to work with more music than any other station in the market.

Radio is more than talk

Often on the airwaves, the voices tend to be one-way. Commercials sell their services or goods, singers and musicians entertain you, announcers tell you the weather conditions and read headlines. But on some spots on the dial, the tone is different. Time is given to talk, to express feelings, share thoughts and seek engagement.

Kidd O'Shea "Mixes" it up

Whenever asked about the future of the business he`s in, Kidd O`Shea is ready to stand on the soapbox. The announcer/reporter/host knows how to deliver information to an audience and he does it almost every day between two gigs - the weekday morning co-host with Elizabeth Kay at The Mix, and as a reporter on weekend mornings on WISN-TV Ch. 12.
