Listener Comments and Reviews

When you broadcast an Amber alert make it understandable! Not the case Friday @2:30.

I wish that your station programmers would do something about the double/simultaneous transmissions of your commercials! It’s very distracting and annoying to listen to the garbled talking when this happens. Surely y’all are required to monitor your broadcasts. This is an ongoing and very annoying problem.

Love the station but when you promo your station the volume goes up 5 fold! Its just overkill and annoying. Thanks for considering this request to turn the volume down a little. BD

Your morning host 6-9am is a very immature and too supportive of the status quo. He needs to be replaced with a more mature balanced individual. He was kissing the behind of a Wilmington City Councilman, Luke somebody, and he had a melt down when called on it by an intelligent well reasoned caller. Your host let Luke give out all the propaganda including email and phone numbers on the PPD Building sale to the COW (City of Wilmington) and would not give out contact information on these who oppose the sale. What happened to balanced reporting? WAAV has always been one-sided defending the local crooked politicians but this takes the cake. In the past JJ Jefferies and Chris Watkins, always encouraged the opposing viewpoint. Your current morning host is a poor substitute. He never gets callers and no wonder when he cuts off callers who do not agree with his bias. Shame on WAAV I'm contacting the FCC with a complaint!!
