Friday Feedback for March 21, 2014

It helps me keep "up to date". -- Mary Lou

At this time of year, as we prepare for our Spring pledge drive starting next week, we’re getting comments from people making early pledges. Catherine McFeeters of Baltimore wrote:

[I] Absolutely LOVE Smooth Landings! Will listen to it on my computer when not in the Wilmington area!!

Tim Marvin of Kure Beach wrote:

I really [enjoy] the commentaries, especially the one for [last] week by Philip Gerard.

We're also continuing to get responses to our Spring Survey. Here's another batch

For my money George Scheibner & Phil Furia could be on all afternoon every day of the week :)) I LOVE listening to Jemila Ericson, such a lovely voice ... never met her, but I feel like I know her. Kudos to Bob Workmon & Pat Marriot who are delightful too. I am a faithful listener to Morning Edition to get another perspective on the news. They cover so many interesting topics that you don't hear anywhere else. I would not miss it if you took Diane Rehm off the schedule.

Diane Rehm is a great addition. Classics for Kids needs to be on more often.

Dave wrote:

I would prefer more classical music. But we greatly appreciate the station.

Steve wrote:

I would love to hear more local news, in more depth… When I first moved to Wilmington, I recall many more WHQR-originated news stories, quite a few of which were picked up by NPR. I don't seem to hear much of that anymore, and I miss it.

Chrissy wrote:

I turn off the radio when the Diane Rehm show is broadcast. I dislike the fact that listeners in the Wilmington area are listening to an already broadcasted show and do not have the option of calling in to weigh in on topics/thoughts/opinions.

Carolyn wrote:

You're doing a great job, keep it up!

Maria wrote:

Please add Snap Judgment to your line-up.

Barbara wrote:

Love Here and Now and Science Friday. Do NOT like Diane Rehm. I wake up every morning to WHQR -- Sunday's BBC global news is okay, better than PipeDreams -- but Sunday mornings could be worse. Truly wish there were more of the local commentators - Andy Wood's the BEST.

Brilliant! I feel that it helps me keep "up to date" with what is important in the here and the now. It makes me aware of issues that may otherwise have escaped me. Thanks so much!

This is a terrible survey. You should be able to rate programs without choosing 1-10 specifically. When I kept rating a program highly, the old one I had rated the same disappears completely.

I’m going to explain our reasoning because this comment appeared on more than one survey. I understand the listeners’ frustration. We feel it every day, because the choice to put a given item on the air necessarily involves the choice NOT to put something else on. We have to make those hierarchical judgments all the time, and it’s not always easy. So to get the most useful information from the survey, we ask you not only to tell us what programs you like, but how important they are to you. That’s why the question about favorites has two dimensions.

We’re up to 99 responders to the survey but we need to hear from more. If you didn’t receive a copy of our Survey in the mail, you can find it online – just go to whqr.org. We hope to hear from you.

We’d love to hear from you on Friday Feedback. You can always leave a message via email to feedback@WHQR.org. Our Feedback Phone is 910-292-WHQR. That’s 910-292-9477. And thanks for your feedback.
