I was very pleased with my radio listening on the River this week. Always great music playing and the local commercials were easily ignored other than that one annoying one I'd have to turn off. From Harrisburg, I could still get the River from as far away as Greencastle for a dinner meeting I had way down that. Awesome. Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Black Crowes, even some Aerosmith and Eagles. Classic rock, just the way I like it. [Review 10213 overall, round number 1800 of 2018.] read more

"Real Rock & Roll Variety" is ther River 97.3's tagline. They do play a lot of stuyff like Guns n Roses, Guess Who, Heart, Beatles, Steve Miller, Loreena Mckennit, Knack, peter gabriel, Foreigner, John Lennon, RHCP, bruce springsteen, etc. its mostly softer rock & roll. You can go online and listen in realtime at www.river973.com if you like or just tune in any time. They constantly calling the station name, like 6 times a minute, its kinda annoying, but still every station does it. They have reeling in the years late late night on saturday nights, where its just like 2 straight hours of solid rock n roll. i dont own any of the CDs that they play on here, but its nice to listen to every now and again. read more

The River plays good music and has good DJs. I enjoy listening to Glenn and Amy in the morning. Bob Hauer is amazing and MAS is good what he does. Keep up the good work. read more

I like the music in the afternoon free ride too when they play some random artists. I heard them play Monster Magnet, Rush and Taproot recently. I appreciate the effort they make to get involved in the Community -for instance recently they had the 4th annual Pay for Play which the Morning show broadcast for 28 hours straight to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. I am not as happy with they way the weekend programming has developed honestly. I was a fan of 'The News' before Bill Hanson stopped hosting and kinda like Jed the Fish, but Hard Drive is the only thing I tune in for other than that. I heard they are going to start having Rock Line the call in Syndicated rock interview show, which is cool.

I am a regular 97.3 The River listener. I'm tiring of some of the old DJ's, they have been doing it so long they come across as tired and doing it just for the money. There is one guy Bob Hower, his voice if flat, he always says his full name, it makes me want to reach for the radio and change the station, it's the way he drags out his boring name B A U B B B E H O W W W W W E R R R. It's simply terrible. Anything that he hawks for a commercial goes in one ear and out the other. I've actually turned off the car radio and when listening with earbuds I just pulled them out and waited a minute or so for the music to start. Hower is so terrible to me, I looked him up and the first thing I saw was his Linkedin page. It's a hoot. And I quote " Professional Expectations Exceeder, Storyteller" Really! Here Ladies and Gentleman is a Narcissist. The music on The River is top notch. I especially like the commercial free hours. That's funny, I like the hour and dislike the Hower. Now there is one DJ there that I could listen to all day. It's Jilly. She sounds like she is smiling the entire time when she is talking. She's fresh & pleasant & interesting every time. Bottom Line from my lense-ear-view - More Jilly and a lot,lot less Hower. read more

I thought this was a decent radio to use when transporting students. I was very wrong, as the talkshow host went into a deep discussion about sex toys and dildos at 7:30 am. I dont think my kids need to hear that read more

Great radio station!…read more If you are 50+ years old or simply like really good music that younger folks call "oldies", then this is your station. Sweet 16, WPDC! Tune to 1600 on the AM dial or FM 102.1 to hear some of the greatest music of all time. EVERY time I have this channel playing, I reminisce about the good times, the innocent times, when gas was less than a dollar a gallon, kids actually played outside and friends hung out on the street corner innocently, drinking iced tea and bouncing a basketball. When professional wrestling was real (in our minds) and TVs did not have a remote controls. Cellular phones and the Internet were pure science-fiction. But, we had AM transistor radios playing the latest and the greatest tunes. This is the music that will take you back! This is the music that will make you smile!
