Count me as one who considers "The Fan" unlistenable. “The only radio station worth listening … and 99.9 The Fan.”

I'd go crazy if I listened to them all day! I like the variety on 106.1 (and less commercials and talk) and my XM trumps anything local hands down.

Whenever I travel by car to other metropolitan areas, I can be guaranteed to hear popular music that won't be played on the Raleigh market for at least 6 months after it charts. Not that I particularly care for pop, but what gives? The only radio station worth listening to is 88.1 WKNC for music, 91.5 NPR (so long as it is the one week per quarter when they aren't fundraising), and 99.9 The Fan.
