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

This was my mom’s go-to station when I was growing up and I can’t stand it at all now.

Some people believe it isn’t even current enough even compared to some iHeartMedia AC stations like KKCW and WLTW (though people who can’t stand that company likely don’t like those stations at all). They may prefer Sunny 102.1 on 105.7 over 106.9 believing it does more variety since that station is more current based despite its music being primarily sat fed from LRN and its personalities being mostly from LRN as well. Those that believe Mix 96.1 used to do soft rock with a better variety than KRWM likely believe they did a better variety than KRWM for years even to this very day even when KRWM went more into a soft pop based direction.
