Readers are sold on morning drive-time mainstay Melanie, who maintains a sunny air that helps out harried commuters (silently) curse the latest idiot to pass illegally on the right, run a red light on a five-count, or race in and out of traffic only to end up hyper-idling at the same stoplight. Anyway, Melanie's always-uplifting shows on KSNE-FM 106.5 topped cool Mark & Mercedes of KMXB-FM 94.1. This was a race that could've been won by Art Bell until those gosh-darn aliens interfered.
Our Pick: NATE TANNENBAUM
If most readers know Nate Tannenbaum for his TV weather reports, his weekend "Guess Who's Playing the Classics?" radio show on KNPR-FM 89.5 is consistently intriguing as local luminaries share their favorite classical music, for better or worse. Guests' selections are diverse and, as such, quite revealing. Tannenbaum's easygoing demeanor and shared love of the real "golden oldies" enhances this alluring use of the airwaves.
