Destination Radio In Seattle

What do the people in the radio community listen to?

First, let's recognize that the people who read this board probably do NOT represent the Seattle market as a whole. Probably most of us spend an above-average amount of time clicking around, checking out what different stations are doing. I think a lot of listeners tend to have one or two stations that they spend all (or most) of their listening time with. But even we channel-surfers have our "fav's."

So, the question is, what are YOUR destination spots on the radio dial during the week? What shows/features do you try to catch every day/week? And I want to limit this to TODAY's Seattle Radio, so please save your "I used to never miss a minute of..." comments for a different post.

Also, I am really interested in getting the radio-info regulars' picks. Save the comments about how much you hate other people's shows/features for some other post.

HERE ARE MINE:

Every morning between 5-6:00 I catch Rachel Maddow's show on Air America Mornings- KPTK.

Every afternoon I listen to Al Franken for an hour or so on my way home (about 4:30-5:30).

Every Saturday I try to make sure I hear Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" on KUOW.

I still like The Mountain for my music, but tune in & out. There are no features there any more that I would call "destination radio" for me that I never miss.
 
I agree Rachel Maddow daily from 4-6 am is "appointment radio".

She's fabulous.

Conversely, Mark Riley, due to his inflection problems and stilted delivery, is almost unlistenable. I'd like to work with him....do some aircheck sessions..

I don't have any "must-listen" choices, but if I don't bring the iPod with me, it's Jack-FM (or KJR-FM on the rare occasion Jack plays something I don't like) and occasionally punching in to KOMO for traffic reports.

Mine are:

Groz with Gas, M-F 3PM-5PM on KJR-AM (especially Listener Voice Mail and In the News)

The 5:20 Funny, M-F at (around) 5:20PM on KMTT

Prairie Home Companion, Saturday 3PM-5PM on KUOW
 
> AM - I Flip between Fitz in the morning on the wolf and Kirby Wilber on KVI
Mid-day - I listen to Ricker
PM - I listen to John Carlson
 
I live in Victoria.

I used to punch up The Buzz for BJ and Tom sometimes.

Now I listen to KISW for the talkers and a little End.

I'll fire up KEXP online (the signal doesn't reach Victoria).

6:00am-7:00am Mitchin the Morning 950am KJR
7:00am-11:00am Fitz The new country station 100.7 (Great stuff)
11:00am-4:00pm 100.07 or KJR 950am

That is what I listen too. Would be 96.5 before they went to jack. Man anyone know what Andy Savage is going to do. I miss the man. Steve was 10 times better with him then BJ Shea. That show is bad. Over done everything.
