I grew up on "We Up!" I always (morbidly) enjoyed the "Obituary Column" during which they read the…read moreweek's obituaries with solemn Gospel music in the background. There was just something oddly comforting about the "Obituary Column." Before my day, Leroy and Viola Garrett became the first African-American owners of this radio station in 1958. I was raised around the corner from its location on Jordan Lane. Hundley Batts, Sr., a prominent local businessman and philanthropist, and his wife, bought the station after Leroy Garrett died in 1987. For his successes with WEUP, and other ventures including a long-standing local insurance agency, he was awarded the 2010 Distinguished Service Award by the Madison County Chamber of Commerce and was inducted in to the Alabama Broadcaster's Hall of Fame. Thanks, WEUP for consistently providing local church services, beautiful gospel music including contemporary urban gospel and soul music, and news to the Tennessee Valley!

Known as "ZYP," we all grew up listening to WZYP!…read more The Dunnavant family of Athens, AL founded the station as WJOF and it's studios remain in Athens, AL while its transmitter is in Madison, AL. During the 1980s it was north Alabama's top rated station! The Dunnavant's sold the station to Cumulus Broadcasting in 2003, although the Dunnavant's remain co-ownership with other affiliated radio stations. The Mojo Radio Show is one of their most popular programs. The "Daly Download with Carson Daly" is also popular. They promote the "Sweet Deals" which are often really good deals on things like local golfing passes for super cheap and dining and local attractions at a good discount. I love their "Sweet Deals!" WZYP's format remains Top 40. Although I grew up listening to ZYP, I prefer Sirius XM stations to ZYP'S constant Top 40 playlist. For me, personally, thank you, ZYP for providing the soundtrack of my teen years!

I was struggling to find a radio station when I first moved to Huntsville and I stumbled on WDRM…read more I've been listening to this station ever since. I miss my Bobby Bones in the morning, but Dingo and Blair keep it interesting. Plus, this station plays a good variety of country. I love that every single morning they play the national anthem. I wish more radio stations did this.

WLRH is Alabama's first American public radio station! They broadcast music, news, and cultural and…read moreentertainment programming from American Public Media, Public Radio Exchange, and National Public Radio. Fun fact: the station was originally owned by the Huntsville Madison County Public Library which led to the call letters Library Radio Huntsville (LRH). The Alabama Educational Television Commission acquired the station in 1977 and owns it today. In 1987 it moved to the location that I know WLRH from (and it's location to this day) on the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) campus. Often, we dropped off canned food donations to the campus location to support food drives, or other items to support their other charitable causes they advertised. A local legend, "Microwave Gallaher" hosts a show entitled "Talkin' the Blues" and another local legend, Bob Labbe hosts a show entitled "Reelin' in the Years." "Reelin' in..." is a Friday night show featuring songs from the host's extensive collection of 45 R.P.M. records, covering popular music from the 1950s through the 1980s. John Hightower currently hosts the show. "Talkin' the Blues" airs on Saturday evenings and covers various aspects of blues music. Gallaher began the program while performing during a pledge drive for the station once. Gallaher also does another version of this show for Huntsville's other public station, WJAB, the Alabama A&M University NPR outlet. I enjoyed listening to "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered." Thanks, WLRH for being a local NPR affiliate and for doing so much for our community for so long!

I like that annually, Mis 96.9 plays Christmas music from November to December 26th! Nice job, Mix!…read moreI didn't know, until now, that the call letters "RSA" stand for Redstone Arsenal, as the station was founded by a Redstone Arsenal engineer, Paul R. Nielson in 1965. Back when it was founded it was known as "Beautiful 97" and it aired an easy listening format for nearly forty years. In 2001Mix 96.9 changed to "soft adult contemporary" music and rebranded as "Lite 96.9." Continuously evolving, in 2015, the station changed to "adult contemporary" sounds and rebranded as "Mix 96.9." It's nice to have a local radio station play Christmas music like Mix 96.9 does and this is another station you'll hear played at a lot of local dental offices and places like optical stores. Thanks Mix 96.9 for your annual Christmas tunes and for keeping us relaxed in various dentist's offices!

As mature listeners between the ages of 50 and 70, we have been very disappointed about the limited…read moremusic selection that has been offered by the Mix 96.9 weekday morning crew. The early morning selections are geared toward a much younger audience, featuring the same artists over and over. It would be good for the station manager to review the playlists and include a wider genre of music in order to appeal to a more mature listening audience as well as the younger crowd. Music choices should not just be limited to the personal taste of the radio host

I did not realize the call letters "WAHR" stand for the founder's name and additional business he ran, Hornbuckle's Record Shop. The call letters AHR stand for "With Arnold Hornbuckle's Records." Arnold founded the radio station in 1959. Arnold opened Hornbuckle's record shop in 1952 and it quickly expanded from record sales to retail musical instruments and home entertainment electronics like Magnavox home entertainment centers. Thanks, Star 99.1 for relaxing us at our dental appointments!
