10. Commercial free adult-alternative music.
9. Friendly on-air hosts who actually like the music they play, and share their vast musical knowledge. I especially enjoy listening to Heather Burns, weekdays from noon to 4pm. She's even nicer in person.
8. Family friendly. It's safe for my kids to listen to 91.3. They hear of new artists before most of their friends, and they appreciate the music those new artists grew up with.
7. Extensive music library that spans 5 decades and multiple genres. The Local Music Spotlight keeps you in touch with great area artists like Pete Nischt, The Woovs, Joseph Arthur, and many more. Other radio stations don't come close to the fresh new music, or older great music that's played everyday on The Summit.
6. Member supported. Being a member of 91.3 The Summit is like being part of a big family of music lovers with excellent taste.
5. Diverse programming: The International Hours on Sundays (Italian Hour 12-1 pm), That Rhythm Those Blues, Reggae Rhythms, DIY Radio, Alternative Archives, Radio Sandbox...
4. Summit member events: exclusive concerts, soundcheck parties, fun gatherings.
3. Bill Hall's Buried Treasure Tracks from his above ground basement in Bath, and his Saturday morning Life & Lyrics show (this guy knows his music!)
2. The Beatle Break with Jim Chenot (this guy knows The Beatles!)
1. 91.3 reaches out to Akron and it's surrounding communities with dedicated, caring volunteers and staff wherever needed (Habitat for Humanity, Music Alive...)
*I ran out of numbers, but not to be left out is important community info, The Concert Calendar, Earth & Sky, World Cafe and so much more, including two HD channels. HD2 plays the music from the early days of 91.3 and it's predecessor 89.1, from the late 70s thru early 90s.

It's impossible to take a nap on a lazy Sunday afternoon!!! I love the international hours on the Summit and must say this weekend's Hibernian Connection was fantastic. If your a fan of the Levelers, the Pogues, and the Alarm, then get ready to a rockin hour. I personally think U2 did a better job of Sunday Bloody Sunday than Ignite's cover, but it was good to hear a different version.
ReplyDeleteThe Irish really know how to rock . Thanks for a great program Eric!!!
