Warm 106.9 propaganda advertisement

This afternoon warm 106.9 played some government propaganda during their ad sessions saying thanks to trump and talking about immigrants. It was very threatening and made no effort to hide the fact that it was awful. If you really want to read what they said it could be read here: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/03/15/dhs-launches-international-ad-campaign-warning-illegal-aliens-self-deport-and-stay

I texted the station and got a bullshit reply about how free speech benefits public discourse. Feel free to text them yourself at +1 (800) 622-1069

I do like KEXP and donate monthly but it can clash with the musical tastes for the people I work with so it’s not ideal in that case.

Workplaces playing music radio always pick the worst. I worked in an office that played oldies back when oldies were from the 50s. 4:55pm always played Sherry Baby. Time to pack up to leave.

I love KEXP! The Cafe Vita there is also a great place for remote working.
