I and my circle of friends enjoy The Summit very much and are grateful for the wide variety of music and commercial-free format. When I tell people about The Summit, I liken it to listening to my iPod: there's music from across at least five decades and almost any genre.

I love The Summit. It is one of only two stations I have programmed into my car radio. You guys do a really nice job.

Today for the first time in a long time I tuned into the Struthers High School radio station.  To my surprise and sheer delight, instead I found The Summit!  I used to dial up the Struthers station for want of something different.  I’m an NPR listener but not a classical music fan, and classic rock just doesn’t do it for me anymore.  I am thrilled to find you filling in a big gap in Youngstown’s music scene.

I just scanned and found it.  It's my dream station. When I was used as a Neilsons rating person, it is the radio station I described....3 years ago and finally here/ hear it is!!!!  I love its breadth of music appreciation. Thanks Summit and 90.7!

Christine from Youngstown

Awesome....we in Northeast Ohio have waited so long for a great radio station. I hope to send more support when I can - I listen from morning to night...no cable, not direct TV...because I keep it off.....of course, you all make it so easy with the great selection of music...I love it all the old and the new (especially)...there is no other station that I can listen to for more than 5 minutes....I really appreciate this station.

I read an article months ago in the Youngstown vindicator.  Add me to the goal of 50 new members in the Youngstown area. I so love your station. We have nothing else like it. Thank you, keep up the great work!

Just wanted to let you know how much I love your music selection! I listen to the audio streaming at work and 90.7 in my car. I have told friends on the west coast about it too! The music and no commercials are great. Awesome!

I love it - The Summit audience - I feel like I fit into this group and not like you feel at a concert where you are the older person.  I love all the new music you've introduced me to over the years and your station is a true gem.  Thank you for including us in this wonderful event.  I now realize why I am a member and supporter of The Summit:  NOTHING COMPARES!

Frank from Youngstown

There is positively nothing that compares to The Summit. I want to help spread the word here in The Mahoning Valley. I love The Summit.

Last week my son borrowed my car and left the radio on the Summit as I discovered the next day. I liked what I heard and left it on. I have not turned it off for a week. I am stunned at the tremendous selection of new music and the tasteful selections from older artists. I listed all last evening in my living room and was relaxed and pleased when I went to bed. It has been a long time since I listen to music with that attention and received so much pleasure from it. I will now be changing my habit when arriving home after work to switching on the Summit, and settle in with evening home chores, I think I will be relaxed, yet energized at the same time. Sure beats falling asleep in the chair in front of the tube. I am looking forward to knowing The Summit.

Just started listening on 90.7 Enjoy World Cafe on my way to work

I found the Summit driving down I 76 through Kent, OH. And I thought Wow! This is all the music I would program if I had a station. And then I lost you but I was excited to find it again on WKTL 90.7 (out of Struthers, OH. my old high school).

Amanda from Sharpsville, PA

Searched for a few months for a good station on the radio, came across this station at 90.7 and realized it’s a GREAT mix. Now I have it as a favorite on the computer, listen in the studio and on the road :)
