Two quick training sessions and some in studio session and I was on the air! I do subs mostly and very early Friday Morning Menu but I like it overall. Great local opportunity to share music and public affairs that matter to you and your community.

As the home of the Illinois…read moreFighting Illini for over 70 years, WDWS prides itself on airing discussion programs that are geared toward the Illini. WDWS is home to Rush, Hannity, Jimbo, Davr Ramsey, AITM, and Overnight America. The local programs (5-11 a.m. and 4-5 p.m.) have the best talk around.

Over a 50 minute drive one way check in get my ticket and stand there for over an hour without anyone acknowledging me. Some of the u of I volleyball team shows up after me and I am pushed to the side and asked to move out of the way. I know this was for people in need and not about me, but don't ask for volunteers when you don't really need me. Thanks Tim and Sarah and the rest of the WLRW crew for ignoring me wasting my time and making me feel so GREAT.

Daily Illini - Has gotten better recently, but its a crap paper altogether. The stories are poorly…read morewritten and usually cite Facebook as reference. Most articles are obviously biased, and the op ed staff is full of full blown morons. WPGU - Best radio station in town, but still a bad radio station. They play some indie songs, but its really obvious they try to be indie by playing really cliche songs many times. Also, the DJ's are inept. Technograph - eh. The Buzz - Only reason this is getting 2 stars. Good local music reviews, and a good crossword. This and the booze news are the only things worth reading while siting at Antonio's eating lunch.

The articles are inane, usually much closer to a middle school level than a college level in subject matter and tone. There seems to be a complete lack of editing. The reason I'm bothering to leave this review is because I happened to look at the website for the first time in quite a while, and saw this gem: "Wholistic medicine" Hahahaha. Clearly the good writers with strong vocabulary (which no doubt exist in abundance at UIUC) are too busy making something of their lives to work at the DI.
