I turned on the TV this morning (3/22) and guess what was on? Yep. "What Pittsburgh Eats". It almost seems purposeful and vindictive. So I am going to cancel my sustainer membership and would encourage everyone to rethink theirs. If this was purposeful, it is absolutely not a way to treat people giving you money.

I've had a chance to see the original set from Mister Rogers Neighborhood, plus I've met several radio/TV personalities in the hallways. You can rent studio space here, either for filming or for an event. I've been to several events there, and they've all been excellent. The catering is by Common Plea. Aside from that, the station creates wonderful local and national shows, especially under the creative leadership of Rick Sebak.

I love it, & they have great political commentators like Mark Levin, Dan Bongino & many more 24/7. I laughed at the other review which was by a troll obviously. If you like hearing political commentary by experienced commentators & verifiable information, then this is the place. No fluff, just the facts, but lefties better stick with MSNBC or CNN as they need some better ratings & some viewers. LOL! Had to get my little "friendly" dig in!

My dentist is also a fan as was my barber, when I actually had hair. If any type of music is suicidal, it's what they play on WJAS; the most melancholy tunes ever to push air. To listen to WJAS is to listen to ghosts. If you like Sinatra though, you've found your station. Chilly Bill Cardille has a job here as does...Jack Bogut? Yes, he's still around.

I have been a long time listener and supporter of WYEP for years. We are so fortunate to have this…read moregreat music station. It has been going at it since 1974, way back when the first broadcast occurred in the basement of a South Oakland building. It was started by a group of volunteers, and continues to remain independently operated and a member-supported station. Fast forward to the Community Broadcast Center on the South side, its current location. This radio station cannot be taken for granted when so many other radio stations have come and gone, or find themselves under the clutches of corporate broadcasting. WYEP promotes itself well, and rewards its' members and listeners quite frequently. For instance, as a donor, I have been invited to at least 2 Live and Direct sessions at their studio featuring well-know musicians, attended an outing at Club Café, viewed the recently released Beatles movie at a local theater, and, will be a guest at an upcoming performance at the Pittsburgh Winery. This all occurred within the month of September! I cannot say enough good things about the station, their selection of music, or all of the community programs they promote and sponsor. The Pittsburgh community is well-served with WYEP's presence, and I certainly hope it will be around for many more years to come. I am very proud to be one of it's supporters.

Do you like your venues intimate? Well folks, the WYEP Community Broadcast Center is as intimate as…read moreit gets! It's a 100 (I'm guessing) seat performing arts space at the WYEP Studios. It's a place where you can see the artists close up and you really get a chance to feel like you're one with the show. I know, places like First Niagara Pavilion where you sit hundreds of feet away amongst the throngs of sweaty people and get overcharged for the privilege have their charms. But a concert at a really small venue like this is something every music fan should try. My cousin and I went here to see the Patti Spadaro Band in concert. Spadaro is a rarity--she's one of the few female lead guitarists out there. Whenever people think of a female guitarist, they often think of a folkie with acoustic, a rhythm guitarist, or a bassist. I'm not as familiar with her material as I should be. I've seen her at a few area festivals and only now am I getting into her music. But she plays as she says, "bluesy, jammy rock with wailing female guitar." She played a lot from her newest CD "Bringing Me Back" as well as a little bit of her older material. It was a rollicking good show and now I've got to go out and get her CDs

Pretty average jazz/classical NPR station - you get some news, then the music comes on, so you…read moreswitch to your other favorite NPR station online. I tried to like jazz and classical, but I really hate both of them, and I'd love to have a good news station in Pittsburgh. (A good local news discussion show would be a giant plus for Pittsburgh, too - local politics, policy issues, local arts/music, research at Pitt and CMU, and local business issues.) Until then, I'll be listening and donating to WFPL (Louisville) and WUNC (Chapel Hill) and just tune into DUQ for my commutes. Wish I had something more than criticism here, but jazz sucks, so I can't really comment on their playlists.
