The Charlotte Post was founded in 1878 and is a weekly newspaper published here in Charlotte North…read moreCarolina. It is minority-owned and operated, and positions itself, according to their own "about" page as "a leading provider of news, information and entertainment from a black perspective." The masthead says "The Voice of the Black Community." It is distributed in dark green newspaper boxes and is free. Most of the boxes are in Uptown Charlotte and, according to wikipedia, primarily in African-American neighborhoods. Its circulation is 22,305. This week's newspaper is sixteen pages with the above-the-fold headline and photo of North Carolina's new Lieutenant Governor-elect, Mark Robinson. Robinson is a Republican, which presents certain challenges when the Governor is a Democrat. And the Post provides a great amount of ink to discuss. The Life section is timely with a holiday menu and recipes and lifestyle stories, yes, from a black perspective. It's an interesting newspaper and I'll be looking for it in my travels so that I can round out my news input. [Review 14339 overall, 1663 of 2020, number 2706 in North Carolina.]

This is one of the 2 radio stations I actually listen to while in the car or at the computer. I've…read morereally gotten away from music radio & have gravitated towards the news/political/sports talk radio channels. WBT is a right winged station, so don't expect any liberal views on this station. Each on air personality is on for a 3 hour time segment, with Rush Limbaugh being the main big time personality. But the local guys are pretty good & I enjoy listening to them more than Rush. The local guys will talk about both local & national topics, so you can tie it into your actual community. This station really is informing & gets some topics out there about Charlotte that no one else covers, such as the Charlotte Disturber. While I may agree with most of their discussions, I still do take up some argument in what they have to say, but that makes for good radio. You don't want your listeners always agreeing with you.

"The best music ever recorded."…read more Tooling around Charlotte this morning to get my errands done, I realize that I've never reviewed my favorite radio station. Rare on the breaks and the music in between is excellent. Bob Seger. The Police. The Eurythmics. A Sunday morning "Deep Cut" radio program and a Saturday morning "acoustic recordings" program. Excellent stuff. Keep it up. "Our friends call us... The Ride."

a very good station one of my favorites is a fan of deep cut vault style classic rock. however I…read morenoticed over the last year or sohas Iraq with the ride many times do a lot of stuff down around Gastonia Trucking in and out of there Trucking across 85 a lot we're doing this Trucking gig for almost 30 years now Long haul Rock and roller... there's been a little bit of a change in the format and the music selection is kind of not quite what it was. don't get me wrong it's still rocks balls to the wall for the most part just a little bit of change though can be noticed as a long time listener for Monday first came on the air back in the early 00s I believe. compared to if you look back when the station first began some more pop stuff is starting to seep in slowly. I mean Duran Duran really?? although being from Chicago I cannot deny the fact that my home station 97.1 The Drive is the same kind of way.. it all depends on who owns the station nowadays. But as a long-haul truck driver I could say there are three great stations and indeed that I love to even just log on to sometimes and listen live to. I have trouble with radio apps so a lot of times in areas where I am but if I have a Wi-Fi I will just go right to the station and listen live even like somewhere around the country. the ride, the drive, and the original 50 year old powerhouse that's never change format never Back Down been through changes but never stop rocking 94.7 The mighty KSHE 95 out of St Louis. being from Chicago and people ask me what would you listen to those are the three I would choose but the ride is still very enjoyable and has a good strong signal you pick it up quite a ways away and your rack with it for quite the way so it's still a good thing compared to a lot of the garbage that you can choose on the radio but personally for me I have just noticed that more and more though some of the format changes to the pop kind of stuff of the 80s that you really wouldn't consider back when it first started and they were more heavy deep cut. Just classic rock but the good Vault stuff
