CATCHING UP ON FEEDBACK

After returning from a more than two-week vacation without checking email, my inbox is full of your comments.

The topic is all the same...The Diane Rehm Show, which KUAZ began carrying August 4th. I've always heard this show is either "love it or hate it" and your comments pretty much echo that sentiment. Here are just a few comments to my blog entry of July 24th.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH. The Diane Rehm show is thoroughly detestable. If I wanted to listen to it, I would tune to KJZZ. To think that her drivel is replacing the 9:00 hour of Morning Edition. Once again, APM (both TV and Radio) are trying desperately to give me reasons to reduce or eliminate my membership contribution. Not that I feel strongly about this. - David W.

That’s a great announcement. Those of us who have satellite radio have been able to listen to Diane’s program each morning, but now all of Tucson will have the opportunity, too. Good move on the part of the programmers at AZ Public Media. - Bob. K

I listen to Diane's show during my frequent trips to SLC and have often wondered why she was not on KUAZ. Her program is outstanding and I'm sure that she will be embraced by southern AZ. Thanks for making this change. I like Here and Now, but Diane's show is worth the loss. - James K.

What has happened to Here and Now? - Aviva

By the way, "Here and Now" went the way of the dodo. Also, we generally refer to our broadcast facilities as AZPM. APM belongs to someone else.
