Admittedly I don't listen to KFAI (90.3 fm) nearly as often as in earlier years. It may have…read moreevolved considerably over time. In fact there is a chance that at least parts are completely unrecognized by me. Regardless of its present shape, to the best of my knowledge it remains a community based, almost entirely a volunteer effort. I have found KFAI to be a source of information representing a diverse swath of voices, eclectic musical offerings and an interesting lineup of on-air talent. The signal used to be quite weak and localized. Since then I understand that it has significantly extended its reach to include most if not all of the metro. If you plan on contributing to a listener supported station, to me KFAI is well worth your consideration.

One Sunday night, many moons ago I was just this suburban punk kid. Sitting in my room in Brooklyn…read morePark, filled with teenage angst I'm sure. It was a Sunday evening, I was laying on my bed listening to the radio and probably bored. I spun the dial all the way to the left and then I slowly started moving the dial to the right on my alarm/clock radio searching for something else. It didn't take much but I suddenly stopped it here, 90.3 FM. The song playing was Romeo Void's, Never Say Never. That guitar, drums, driving beat and suddenly that sax in the chorus was tossing my entire world of what I perceived as music. And enter the rabbit hole I did because many years down the road this station is still a mainstay. It still introduces me to music and I hear news that doesn't get played or aired anywhere else. Its local, supported by member listeners and is easily one of the most underrated things in this town. Music Nerd Fact that I learned from KFAI: You know that song "Train Kept a Rolling" made popular by Aerosmith? Well the 60's band Cream was one of the first to cover it but the original was done by Tiny Bradshaw. Yep. It was a big band song back in the day and it was bad ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci4EQDD4CqA If you haven't ever listened, they can be heard streamed via the web (they also have an app), or locally at 90.3 or 106.7. Each show is also available for 2 weeks after each airing via podcast. I was gonna plug a few of my favorites but I started going through the list and thought, crap! There's too many. Seriously, if you are the into music and appreciate the likes of The Current, KEXP out of Seattle or KCRW from Santa Monica, KFAI takes that and then adds some spice and takes it to a whole new level. You really do get a new station every couple of hours as the DJ's change. Please check them out and show them your support (ie: $$$, it's always pledge week : ) http://kfai.org/programs

FOX 9 - KMSP

This review is my 2,500th here. I'm reflecting on what I used to watch as a resident of Minnesota…read moreand what I am hooked on since returning to the Twin Cities as a tourist. It's funny that when I first starting travelling back to the Twin Cities to partake in watching Minnesota Wild games, I stayed in Eden Prairie a couple of times. I then switched hotels and enjoy staying in Eagan these days. Little did I know that the two hotels that I stayed at were around the block from FOX 9, which is also known as KMSP. When I first moved to Rochester, I realized fast that there weren't any morning news broadcasts locally that I enjoyed before heading to work or getting on with my day. Instead, I scanned the channels that I had on cable and found FOX 9. Back then, I tuned in to Good Day, Minnesota. It was a morning news program with live features and more. I got my news, weather, and local events around the Twin Cities and beyond. Alix Kendall was one of the anchors. She is still with FOX 9 and hosts FOX 9 Good Day, along with the early morning news. I also enjoyed watching M.A. (Mary Alice) Rosko do live, remote stories. She retired a few years ago, but she was awesome. Ever since I returned to the Twin Cities to visit and take in Wild games, I am glued to FOX 9 when I start my day till noon. The personalities in the morning are relatable and great. Tom Butler, Kelly O'Connell, and Alix Kendall are the main anchors starting at 5 am till noon. FOX 9 Good Day and The Jason Show take a couple of hours out of this period to give the anchors a break. Dawn Stevens recently left FOX 9 after a fifteen-year stint as a morning news anchor. She co-started Friday dance-offs with Alix and Tom. Her last day was a Thursday, but they held a special dance-off segment just for her. It was fitting and touching. Keith Marler and Cody Matz are meteorologists that I often see in the morning. They are funny, witty, and deliver everything you need to know about the weather and developing patterns. Cody is a foodie, so it was enjoyable seeing him sample unusual ice cream flavours, such as mac and cheese, and pizza. The surprise for me was watching The Jason Show and getting hooked on it to the point where I stream the show on YouTube now. Jason Matheson is your host, with his sidekick sister from another mister, Kendall Mark. Kendall also does traffic during the morning news. Jason is funny and willing to share so much of himself, from his love for Disney and Dallas (yes, the 80's TV show), to being bullied for being gay growing up in Indiana, and sharing stories about his two dogs and husband. His show has cooking and event segments, but also does entertainment features. I have learned so much about where to eat around the Twin Cities and what movies to see through his show. The Jason Show has recently announced having a live audience again after over two years. It would be nice to visit the set and FOX 9, but it's so difficult to get tickets for a specific period that I'm in town for. I can stream many of these morning programs through the FOX 9 site. The commercials get rather repetitive, though. I can't comment too extensively about the evening news and programs on FOX 9. I am often out being a tourist, whereas I've had a couple of work-from-remote stints while in Eagan. It explains why I know the morning lineup far better. In the evening, I do tune in to watch Ian Leonard and his forecast. He is a Canadian, originally from Edmonton. FOX 9 was also the channel that broadcasted many Wild games while I lived in Rochester. I couldn't get tickets to see any Wild game, so it was a combination of seeing games on FOX 9 or through the NHL channel on my satellite dish. Ah, good times. I am glad that FOX 9 is still around and thriving. I love the programming, especially in the morning. Personalities are real and relatable. (127)

I use to be an avid Jason Show fan, but I noticed as his show got more popular and bigger, his…read morebehaviour was changing too, he began to say a lot of put downs against people and business all masked by a joke or humor. Jason has become a typical sterotype of a bitchy queen with his snarky remarks and behaviour. You have lost a fan, I no longer watch the Jason Show...I watch the View instead...at least they are up front with their remarks.
