I’m the Booshman caller ! Everyone loves my commentary. I was Jim Izzaballa’s mentor. I got him to do the show in the evening 7-11pm. He’s doing a great job. I coached Bob Golic for the Cleveland Browns, then got him into radio, as a host here 3-7pm. I got Couch Burner John Denning to do the 10am to 3pm show, after I fixed him up with my ex wife. Their happily married now. We are all informative and entertaining. It’s real people, who can call and talk about whatever we want, political, sports, family issues, current events etc, or be humorous. Your First Ammendment Right exercised daily. It’s mostly local N.E. Ohio callers, within the 100.1 FM radio listening limits, but also people from all over the United States or other countries. It’s even better if your a daily caller like I am. Looking forward to hearing from you too !
No matter you view on life and all that go’s with it the open format of this station definitely give you a place to voice your opinion . It also gives all people the ability to show the world how stupid you are !! LOL in all seriousness this station and format is amazing !!! It is by far the best station and has the best radio hosts in the world !!!
We love this radio station! We are snowbirds and listen on the App in Florida. I get all my news and information for Ohio from your station. We listen to WNIR in the car on the way to and from Florida. We have installed the App on our TV. All of your announcers are very informative and entertaining. I especially like to listen to Jim Isabella.
Have been a fan since about the late 80’s. Have it on almost all the time. Have used the app for years, in South Carolina, and now in Columbus. I get bent out of shape when I can’t get the audio, sometimes all day, doesn’t happen often.
Sad downer pessimism constantly from French will never sustain or support any kind of good ratings unfortunately does not fit in what’s so ever with the morning crew especially, got to put him in another place.. the rest of the crew is so nice , kind, so caring and considerate in every way it is just sad that you have to even listen to the inconsistent rants and annoying raves of this out of place radio personality
I’ve listen to the 10-3 show and it seems the talk show host doesn’t try to make the topics interesting I’ve noticed he will let the call in guest do all the talking and he’s not really educated on the topics at hand. A lot of times the guest will want him to engage in the conversation and he doesn’t say anything.
Interesting and relaxing to listen to. Both sides get time to air their views. No baseball games to bore you just good talk. Give it a try and listen a bit. I use the app when I travel
Love this radio station.. have listened for years. Was very difficult to get in with the radio. Very accessible by the internet Love couch and the whole gang
The app will just stop randomly and say it can’t get station information. I have full signal, sometimes I’m on WiFi and it happens. Talk about annoying. Love the station but the app needs lots of work for iPhone users.
Thank goodness I have the app so I can listen in South Carolina. Really enjoy Jim Isabella, Couchburner and Bob. I’m from Akron/Canton so it’s a taste of “home”.
i have been listening to WNIR since 1990. always loved that i could hear BOTH sides. Howie + Joe that is no longer true. WNIR is far right radicals and that makes me sick. i removed WNIR from my daily radio listening. 🇺🇸God Bless America ♥️🤍💙
I have never been to Akron or heard a WNIR broadcast. But when I was told about this radio station I tried it out. It is by far the best talk radio I have ever heard and now I listen online whenever I can. Howie Chizek says all the things I would say if I had a radio show. Which I should. But until I do, everyone should listen to Howie.
Grew up with Howie. Now I listen from Iowa. I've been all over the world and Howie is the best talk radio anywhere. I've even converted people that have never been to Akron! Cheers WNIR
Don't bother. The stream is unreliable, and you'll just get frustrated trying to follow a conversation or the news. I've clicked on the Support link and filed at least 12 support tickets, and have NEVER gotten a response.
Huge shout out to Carey Coleman on taking over the day show this week while John Denning was off sick.you are very knowledgeable on many subjects & you let people talk & listen what they have to say & Love the music you play in between breaks.
He offended refugees and hates the Browns, extremely racist guy!!! Don't get it unless you need something to help your schizophrenic loneliness. Please don't get it!!!!!!!!!
Listening to the " Timeless " Howie Chizek is a must. This app. Is way more reliable than their online stream. "Be careful the men in the dark sunglasses may be watching you" ( A famous Howie-ism)
Installed the app. Found after a couple hours it was still running in the background and drained my battery. Never once heard any type of sound. Figured it would be fixed after 5 days. Wow another Akron joke. Kent too.
