I have really enjoyed your Christmas music programming. It is such a nice mix, I have like all of it.

Please do it again next year.

I'm writing to let you know how wonderful it is to have beautiful classical music in the River Valley thanks to KXRJ. Please keep up the good programing. Our family has also been enjoying the programs from other places, especially the Zucchini Bothers & Bird Tales. We were blessed by your Christmas music.

One note of criticism, it would help those of us that tune in to a selection in the middle if the announcer would tells us what we've been listening to after the selection is over. I know we are told at the beginning but it would be helpful to hear it again at the end.

Keep up the good work.

I want to express to you my great appreciation for your efforts in the programming of KXRJ-FM.

When I moved to Russellville from Seattle, I looked for stations that would provided jazz (especially smooth jazz) and old 40's type standards and similar. There were none.

When I found your station, I was delighted. I like most all the music you feature. I'm not so fond of the alternative-type paino selections, but for the most part, I enjoy it all.

Just a note to thank you for the wonderful variety of music played on your station, and commercial free to boot!

When we have sought variety, we have tried to tune in the LR stations but reception is marginal and the programming daily is extremely limited. Our true love is light jazz and that appears to be your primary format. We've heard songs sung by long time, legendary artists (such as Sinatra) that we have never even heard before.

We just wish that your signal covered a larger area.

Thanks again.

George,

I really enjoy the music on KXRJ - keep it up!

This is my background music in my office so it's on all day. I enjoy classical as well but not as much as the current format. Opera, I'm not crazy about. The strength of signal is normally good, there are times when I have some interference (weather related I think). Today the signal is clear and sharp.

We thoroughly enjoy the music you program from your location on the Tech campus. Keep it coming! My only wish is that you could identify pieces by name, and let us know what artist is performing them. Thanks for some "good" "old" music.

My lifelong friend and classmate of more than 54 years Bill Harmon, Major General, Retired that devoted years to his alma mater before retiring finally turned me on to this website. How great it is to have it on my computer from early morning to late in the evening.

Thanks,

My name is Ronnie Smith and your own Bill Harmon of Arkansas Tech and my lifelong friend put me on this wonderful site. I listen all day long from my computer and congratulate KXRJ for an outstanding daily format of listening. I have sent the website out to friends of mine around the country urging them to listen and enjoy as I have.

Sincerely,

Ron

This is Ronnie Smith again and forgot to tell you where I am listening from, Maumelle, AR just down stream from Russellville.

i was listening to your radio station early sunday morning and a song came on around 3:17 am which i really liked. it was sung by a female singer in a jazz-type style. very beautiful tune, but not one i recognized. the song lasted from about 3:17 until 3:24 am. i was wondering if you could backtrack that far and locate that song's title and the artist's name for me. thank you very much for your kind cooperation.

Just wanted to let you know I love your jazz format. KXRJ is one of the few broadcast stations I listen to in the car. I only wish you had a stronger signal so I could get you more clearly with a greater range.

Keep up the good music,

Linda Follis

I appreciate the Jazz music so very much, thank you. I'm enjoying listening to some of the same songs that I heard on KXRJ over fifty years ago! If I remember correctly, we just called it "Pop Music" then. Thanks again,

Joyce

Thank You for the tunes!

The only other station that plays my kind of music is in Hot Springs, and often there is too much interference and too little power for me to get it very well.

Love the singers. Hard to get a sampling of Billy Eckstein, and Ella Fitzgerald and then Bing Crosby singing Irish Songs. It's wonderful, keep it going.

Stumbled onto KXRJ on Dardanelle's Channel 2 about noon today.

I felt like I was back at my desk doing my homework in Critz Hall with KXRJ on the radio.

Thanks.
