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.

Aside from that, the station creates wonderful local and national shows, especially under the creative leadership of Rick Sebak.

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.

The former jazz and NPR station has changed formats and today is Pittsburgh's all NPR station…read more Located at 90.5 FM, WDUQ first started broadcasting in 1949, WDUQ was Duqusene University's radio station. In 2011 it was sold to WYEP, the call letters were changed to WESA. Today, most of the programming is NPR produced programming and news from the BBC, WESA has locally produced shows during the daytime hours. Weekends brings some great shows like "Wait, Wait....Don't Tell Me" and "Car Talk". For the Jazz fans, there is a three hour show of jazz Music every Saturday evening at 6 PM. In a town riddled with oldies stations, all sports talk, bigoted, conservative windbags, and way too much country, it's refreshing to listen to news produced to make you think and not tell you how you SHOULD think.

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.

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

This same reporter interviewed me in 2023 when I rented an office for my hypnosis business in the Murphy Building in Tarentum . The article made the paper. I recently was informed by this reporter that the interview we had was not accepted as it was more of an "advertisement than an article." It took him a month to inform me. The article was all about why I chose to try to do my hypnosis at the theater . It was not an advertisement. He's a good reporter and he asked the questions . It was a good interview. The theater manager who is permitting me to do these sessions was there answering questions. A photographer was there taking many photos . There was no reason to believe it would be rejected. Of course, I never saw the completed work of the reporter. I asked K.S. to tell me who made this decision . I asked him to explain how many other "articles " on other businesses were in the trib. These businesses are paid for their services . They were articles and not considered advertisements. Why were these articles published and mine rejected? I have not received an answer. I emailed the managing Editor and have not had a response . I'm not a paranoid person . I'm a retired psychiatric nurse and active hypnotist. In my curious mind, this rejection is about something else. It feels discriminatory. I'm very disappointed in the Trib editorial team who chose to reject what was probably a good article about this fascinating intervention for wellness.
