Once
again, The Summit has been recognized as “One of the Best”.
Radio and Records magazine has nominated your radio station
as one of the best non-commercial AAA stations in the nation.
We are competing against stations in markets #51 and over.
In our case, our competitors are in Anchorage, Alaska, Durango,
Colorado, Monmouth/Ocean City, New Jersey, Albany, NY and
Louisville, KY. We didn’t win last time, and I have
no idea if we’ll win this time, but it’s always
nice to be recognized by your peers in the industry.
Even more meaningful to me, though, was an email our Program
Director, Bill Gruber, passed along to the staff, and which
I will pass on to you.
"I just wanted to send a
note to express how fantastic your format is...I am a
Floridian visiting Barberton and found
you...the Summit is an example of what radio should be and
once was...I lived near Youngstown in the late seventies
and recall a station out of Akron u. and other mainstream
stations like the wizard and mms...I went home to Florida
and of course there is nothing but commercialized crap... |

it's
been 25 years and upon my arrival here, I began to
explore the current Ohio radio stations...WMMS is awful,
WSRD no longer exists and the other stations are identical
to those everywhere else I've been...finding the summit,
gives me hope that radio can still be innovative and
reflect a unique personality of the community it serves...eclectic
is a favorite word and you fit it perfectly!!! Glad
you are on-line as you have become my favorite radio
station...I haven't said that since I was a teenager
nearly 30 years ago...best wishes to all of you and
don't change format please."
Impressing the staff of an industry
bible is great, but giving a guy a station he knows he
can rely on
for the music that enhances his life really makes me feel
like I’m doing something worthwhile.
Now all we have to do is convince him to become a member! |
