I am an online listener as your signal does not carry well here in St. Clair County. Three comments:
(1) I enjoy the conversational style exuded by Chris Felcyn and Dave Wagner with us listeners on their respective programs. Thanks for being real and true gentlemen. (2) I liked the former mix of Jazzy Nights and think you might be better served if you carried Jazz 24. (3) Any possibility you could air the Exploring Music at a later hour in the morning? Thanks for both ideoms of music!
Hello David,
Sorry to hear the reception isn’t so good for you. Depending on where you live in St Clair County that might be a bit distant from our transmitter. You can also listen online at our homepage by clicking Listen Live if that helps. We’re glad you like our classical hosts! We don’t have plans to switch to all jazz but moving Exploring Music could be a possibility. Thanks for the note.
Chris: Just heard the Satie Six Gnossien beautiful music.
Reminded me very much of the music played in
English movie “The Snowman”. What do you think?
Have been a fan of WRCJ for many years, and while your daytime programming seems to be impeccable, I feel your “jazzy nights” leave a bit to be desired. Many of the selections seem to be so progressive that they lack substance and fluidity. To be honest, and this is not my opinion alone, many of the selections come across as practice sessions that had gone bad. Selections that don’t quite make the grade of a “finished” number. I sincerely hope you’re not abject to a bit of hopefully “constructive” critcism?
Respectfully, Sam Emanuel
Hello Sam,
Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear you don’t care for our jazz selections but we’re glad you enjoy the classical portion of the day. We try to stay on top of our audience’s tastes and we’ll keep your comment in mind. Thanks for listening.
Why isn’t the traffic/weather guy listed in your staff contact section? We hear his voice so often on WRCJ. It’d be nice to know who we’re listening to and leaning on. 🙂
Hi Charlotte,
Oh that’s Tony Bruscato. We will let him know you appreciate his work. Will he let us take his picture? We shall see…
What happened to Tony Moad (sp?). I used to really enjoy his night time jazz programming. He played a good variety, and always something I hadn’t heard before.
I hope the current DJ learns to reach beyond Kind of Blue. There’s really a lot more great jazz out there.
Bill, I agree. Tony Mowod is sensational, is a Pittsburgh native and celebrity who’s been in radio since the 1960’s. I’d love to hear him on WRCJ.
Hi Bills, we liked Tony Mowod too but there were some technical problems with his show that were never resolved so we had to pursue other options. Unfortunately.
i remember i heard on classical music-wqrs-fm about 30 and 20 years ago on that station over the christmas holidays about a holidays song that featured various music boxes, bells, and other mechanical devices playing christmas songs/carols and heard that song about 5-10 years ago online-it sounded real cool for a holiday song-it was about 10 or 15 minutes long-what was the name of the song/songs, the album which it was on, the writer/composer,-and can i hear those songs online via spotify, i-tunes, pandora, youtube, soundcloud,deezer, etc., by any chance or do you have the songs on your playlist there? it’s a cool and unique holiday/christmas tune i really enjoyed to listen to! hey happy holidays/merry christmas there and thank you so very much of your great help & assistance in trying to find out what the composition/songs are! regards there, bradley wilson
Hi Bradley, we asked Jack Goggin who used to work at WQRS and he thought you might be referring to an album called “A Music Box Christmas” featuring 19th century music boxes. You can take a look at that disc here: https://www.amazon.com/Music-Box-Christmas-Rita-Ford/dp/B0000024R5
The current news and traffic reporter has proven she can talk faster than any other living human, now is it possible that she can slow down to the speed at which listeners can hear and understand what she is saying instead of catching a word here or there?
Hello Judith, we’ve asked her to slow down. Also she is just filling in til Monday. Thanks for listening.
