Tagged: Friday Feedback

I'm back from a week's vacation, and picking up some Feedback from the last two weeks.

I'm glad to know that the station does not screen their comments from listeners, but sometimes I think "what a bunch of whiney people. Go ahead and listen to another station. We know you aren't giving anyway!" [The people at WHQR] are doing a great job.

Hi, I just noticed the date and realized [Sunday April 22nd] was WHQR's birthday and I didn't hear any mention of it on the air. Guess it gets less and less significant to mark it when nobody on staff now was there for the event. Maybe I should make that a day sponsorship day!

This is an expanded version of Friday Feedback that aired February 17th. Listener Sonja wrote:

My husband and I will become members as soon as your management starts downplaying the panhandling and pomposity.

Last week I read a number of comments from listeners who had bones to pick with us. This week, we’ve had many fewer comments, and I used the opportunity to go back and see what people wrote to us who contacted us by web pledges during our one-day drive in December. And that reminds me to address an issue I have heard a number of people ask about, and that’s the selection of comments to read.

NOTE: We have a brand new number for our Feedback line: 910-292-WHQR. That’s 910-292-9477.
