You people can't seriously think KLCC's on-air talent is anything worth listening to. Starting with Tripp Sommer and working down the food chain, each one of them sounds like a socially awkward individual. They frequently mispronounce street names, they read copy like a third grader trying to sound out words in the Weekly Reader, and it's just completely uncomfortable. The only worthwhile, local programming on KLCC is Carl Woideck's jazz show on Wednesday nights.
OPB's on-air talent is outstanding. These people always sound like they know what they're doing, and understand what they're talking about. Living in the mid-Willamette Valley, I have the benefit of tuning in both stations as needed, but boy, let me tell you, I will always look first to OPB before resorting to KLCC.
I have never had an opportunity to share this opinion where it was relevant, and I've never posted here before, but this subject really drew me out of the inky shadows. I feel much better!
