I've never been a fan of local news.

But yes there seems to be more lack of WoN coverage this year.
You have a point. There are people who run to see car wrecks and fires.

Let's be real for a minute, most people don't want to hear about good things happening, they want to hear about the latest Northside shootout, drug bust or someone being jacked in Arlington and left in the St.Johns River. It's sad to say but it's what it is.

I'm not trying to downplay the existence of crime there, but I saw the grass was greener by a wide margin. Nothing is perfect, but in contrast, Jax wins - hands down!

Hey, by the way - is there a dedicated News Radio station like NYC's 1010Wins or Philly's KYW1060? I searched online and checked on the radio when I was down there but didn't find anything but Talk, Religion, etc.

Thanks!

There's no real "news" radio. We get XM radio in our car - and it is well worth the cost. Robyn
