Yep. At night I turn my phone off and ignore it until I have to turn it on for the day. Until then, it's off. I don't charge it. I don't check it during the night. And, looking at it is not the first thing I do when I wake up. So, without a phone for distraction and an alarm, what is someone to do? Use a radio alarm and start the day in a good mood. I 'discovered' 102.1 (The Ville!) by accident as I was tuning my radio away from a nearby station. As I did so, I heard 'Doo-Wop (That Thing).' I hadn't heard that for a minute, so I stayed on the dial. Then I heard 'Real Love.' By the time 'If' played, I knew I had a new favorite, local station. As odd as it is to write, '90s R&B is now a part of 'old school.' Sigh. As generations have noted before, these kids don't know what music is, so to have a station that plays everything from Sam Cooke to Earth, Wind & Fire to Amy Winehouse and can go six songs deep without the first 'let me step away and do something else before the next song comes on' is a modern day mass media miracle. But, The Ville doesn't *only* play (90s) R&B. There's plenty of funk, soul, pop, and melodious hip-hop (not the one-track mumble nightmare the chirrun listen to these days). Nashville radio can skew a bit one-sided (shocking, I know). It's beyond refreshing to find a station like 102.1 The Ville. It puts a pep in my step and a smile on my face. From The Supremes to Stevie and from Chaka to Ciara, I'm so glad to know there's a station that can keep me engaged from morning until night. I don't even mind the incessant station identification. Even *that's* a bit of a refreshing callback.

Very limited talk and an endless playlist, "Playing what we want." WCJK broadcasts throughout the metro Nashville area. They are part of the Midwest Communications network of radio stations. Stuck in Nashville traffic coming and going, I got a good few tunes. Adele, Billy Idol, Tom Petty, and who can't bang on the steering wheel to Pat Benatar's Love Is a Battlefield? But as we moved closer to Chattanooga, they were gone and I was on to something new. [Review 13607 overall, 926 of 2020, number 251 in Tennessee.]

This station should, and hopefully will be, shut down by the FCC. On Jan 20, 2017 (inauguration…read moreday), this station began broadcasting a profanity laced track at noon and continued playing it on a loop for hours. The main chorus consisted of "f*** Donald Trump". Regardless of where you stand politically, to broadcast such material over the air is not only in extremely poor taste, it is illegal. Anyone of any age could have tuned to this station and heard this. For such a broadcast to have continued for hours, the management had to be either complicit, or completely negligent.
