Likes Most About Kent State University:

I love the energy on campus and of course, WKSU. This station is the first thing I hear when I start my car, and has been that way for the past 10 years. I love this station because it has news and programing that’s for grown-ups. What I mean is its balanced, straight delivery gives the listener the opportunity to come to their own conclusion instead of telling them what they should think like some news services.
