KVMR is Listening

Categories of Talk

In several surveys conducted in 2019 and 2020, some listeners have told us they feel there is "too much talk" on KVMR. We'd like to learn more about what kind of talk is in excess. Some talk is required, such as announcing station IDs and thanking underwriters. We also assume you'd like to continue to be notified about nearby wildfires, etc. With this as a preface, we'd like to get your opinion of optional forms of talk on KVMR.
