Underpowered transmitter that BARELY reaches OTA antennas on a perfect day. If there is rain, or the wind blows, massive pixelation and dropouts. A streaming server would be cheaper and much more reliable. read more

Can't watch Channel 8 in the morning anymore because of Jeff Roper. He is the most obnoxious person I have ever seen on TV. All of my friends agree. We have all switched to Channel 6. We are all in our 60s or 70s so we've seen them all. read more

I completely agree with Elizabeth. I really enjoying the programming ME TV has. It seems as though…read morethe station owners do not want to invest any money in the station for new equipment, and then of course most of the time what you're watching just goes blank or to some bright pink screen. And the sound is absolutely the worst. Programs has very low volume and commercials blast you out of your house. I certainly do hope they invest some money for new equipment and catch up with the other competitor stations.

I'm so sad that ME TV has decided to use this station as their local affiliate…read more I love the programing offered by ME TV and am extremely disappointed to be missing all the programs offered simply because KPIF has broken down equipment the impedes their ability to actually BROADCAST the programs. I'm missing hours, days and sometimes even weeks of programming simply because they are unable to transmit. When they are actually able to broadcast, their sound quality is extremely poor. I'm very disappointed.

I'm going to stop watching channel 8 news and start watching channel 6 because 8 if it's anything north of Idaho falls you very seldom report anything on it, and if you do you never give any updates later. Just like GMA they very seldom report on anything out west. All you care about is what makes you look good and that's all you care about BYE read more

Evan Thomason is the most annoying Weather reporter I've ever had to listen to. Guess I'll have to start watching Channel 6.

Great Station. Thank you for playing the Sounds of Sunday!!…read more I enjoy listening to the morning show on weekdays, and peaceful music on the Sabbath. I appreciate Classy 97s efforts in keeping Southeast Idaho a great place to live and work, end especially family friendly.

My wife and I along with my sister and her husband made plans to go to the KLSE Second Chance Prom…read morelast night. We had been looking forward to it for years. Ten years ago we moved away and last summer we just moved back. Ever since then I have asked my wife several times when it was because I wanted to take her. I have bragged to friends about this event when we were moved away we enjoyed it so much. But last night that ENDED! We went to the dance and during the 40 minutes that we were there they only played 2 slow songs. I noticed Bill Fuerst, the general manager for Riverbend Communications was there and I tried to talk to him about it, but he just brushed it off. The lady that was there with him when I saw them arrive at the dance before I knew who they were walked out onto the dance floor and stood next to me had a very dissatisfied look on her face. She looked like she didn't want to be there. They didn't even try to dance but left the dance floor immediately. The whole time we were there they never danced. Later that night I made a post on the dances Facebook page about my experience as well as commented on other people's posts. I didn't say anything bad other than that we were disappointed and would be no longer attending the dance in coming years. KLCE removed my post and comments and blocked me from making more on both of their pages. What ever happened to Freedom of Speech, is it only there if they agree with what is being said. They didn't even reply back like most businesses do about my experience and try to resolve the concern. Wayne Richardson the person who started the Second Chance Prom here in Idaho Falls would be disappointed and probably turning over in his grave with the way the dance has fallen in disgrace.

We spent two days in the Idaho Falls area and kept the radio tuned to this channel for much of it…read more Katy Perry's Firework seemed to show up often enough but the rest of the playlist of "contemporary" music was mostly more modern - Walk The Moon, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift. More commercials that I'd like but this isn't exactly the biggest advertising market in the world. Less talking from DJ's which I did like. It's A-OK.

I listen to Jeremy Taylor every morning and have been for a number of years since I've lived in…read moreIdaho. I love listening to the music as well as the news and the interesting studies and other things that Justin mentions. I recently donated to Jeremy's fundraiser to help pay off and/or pay down school lunch cafeteria debts for our local children. After donating, I won a neat shaker cup. When I first won it, I had two other shaker cups that I never used. Well, I have since started a health and wellness (weight loss) program called Optavia, and I have a delicious protein shake every morning. So now I DO use a shaker cup every morning. And I am here to tell you that the cup that I won from Jeremy's fundraiser is, by far, the very best one. It's the largest and is a very high quality shaker cup. So I just wanted to say thank you, Jeremy, and keep up the great work!! I'll keep listening and donating.
