It seems odd that an "Alternative" radio station is owned by the iHeart conglomeration but here we…read moreare. ALT 101.1 is Asheville's Alternative Rock When the "seek" button landed here, it stayed for my time in the city. Not very "alternative" since it played Foo FIghters, Weezer, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers. But I enjoyed the tunes and the commercial breaks that reminded me I could ask my Alexa device to play this on my smart speaker. [Review 18866 overall - 3357 in North Carolina - 2389 of 2022.]

I just purchased my latest piece of stereo equipment, a SOUNDESIGN AM-FM stereo multiplex. I got…read moreit all hooked up, and tuned the dial to pick up a station in order to test its potential sound capabilities. The dial landed on Star 104.3 - WQNQ. Now, I do not typically listen to the radio, as I am generally familiar with what Asheville-area radio stations have to offer. So, I was pleasantly surprised by the sounds coming out of my new multiplex. I was whisked back to the 1980's, I reminisced while listening to those rockin' 90's hits, and then was delivered up a dose of some of today's catchiest tunes. I dare say its "Asheville's best mix of the 80's, 90's, and today"...

Oh! and like a reviewer said....need less commercials, and self-commercials and more music!!

Advertising on the radio? I thought I would give it a try since businesses similar to mine are "all…read moreover" the radio, iHeartRadio stations in Asheville in particular. I met with a sales rep who told me we could get a 3-week run during "drive time" for $750. However, when the ads started running we got NO calls based on the ads (unlike social media which gives nearly instant performance). So, I asked what's up and they sent me the list of when the ads were running. More than 80% of them were 8 PM to midnight! None were in what I would consider "drive time" of say 5 pm to 6:30 pm. THREE ads of the hundreds scheduled were from 6:45 to 7 pm. The EXCUSE ("explanation") was that was "the best we could do with your budget". Well excuse me, but shouldn't you have told me that at the time of the sales meeting? You sold me a bogus bill of goods with a totally misleading description and when I asked for a refund for halting after a week you have said you'll "ask" management if I can have $100 back. What I got for my money was an EDUCATION - Don't use iHeartMedia unless you nail these people down to EXACTLY what they intend to deliver BEFORE you pay. (Caught once, shame on me!)

The music kept me tuned in, even if some of the commercials might have been a little annoying.
