“I discovered your radio station about a year ago by accident. I am notvision impaired and I only drive for short periods throughout the daybut there's always something interesting to listen to and I find it muchmore enjoyable than listening to the nonsense that they are trying to
pass off as "entertainment" on the commercial stations.” Leon 2019
“I heard about 2RPH when I was diagnosed with ocular myasthenia
gravis and couldn't watch TV. I love it because there are no ads,beautiful voices of announcers, and good grammar. I keep listening
because of the variety of news, local information and a smattering ofreligions.”
