Warm 98 Cincinnati’s Original Soft Rock

I like WARM 98 for an occasional change. However, I’ve never been a Delilah fan, so I wouldn’t listen to this station in the evenings. Weekend nights feature jazz music, I believe, though.
I think their web site is kind of lame; I couldn’t really find what I needed. One plus: you can find info on Dean & Randi’s weekly half-​price restaurant gift certificates each Friday.

Warm 98 is the reason terrestrial radio is a fading dinosaur, soon to be extinct. Any given hour you have to listen to at least 20 minutes of commercials, which is an utter waste of time in today’s iPod world. This station is popular with restaurants, hair salons, and retail stores because the music played and the banter simulated is absolutely harmless.
And that’s why I really dislike this station. I think the sanitized songs they play are as enjoyable as elevator music – maybe they are one in the same. From Nickelback to REO Speedwagon and many more forgettable musicians, Warm 98 is corporate radio at its finest (and that’s not a compliment).
Oh, and they dedicated the whole month of December to playing Christmas Songs. Bah, Humbug!

Ok, so I’m a closet middle-​aged Suburban soccer mom… kidding, but seriously, Warm 98 radio is my guilty pleasure.
This station features «Soft Rock» favorites, meaning everything from Sinatra to B-​b-​b-​Bennie and the Jetts to newer classics by the likes of the Backstreet Boys. You really can’t beat the variety, and you’d better believe that it is all feel good music, earning «Warm» 98 it’s nickname.
My mom listened to Warm 98 while I was growing up so I learned early on to appreciate the music of the Eagles and Neil Diamond, if you’re like-​minded, you’ve got to tune in to 98.5. The DJ’s on this station are always family-​friendly and funny; Dean and Randy got me through my commutes to high-​school back in the day and I still catch their show every once in awhile. Delilah starts at 8pm on weekdays!
The station has quite a few promotional contests, this year they’re running a «Double Your Paycheck» game that has my sister turning her radio on everyday between 11-​noon and 3−4pm. I guess if your name is called you have an hour to call in and they’ll give you $ 1,000. Pretty sweet.
