What It's For
Four great reasons to text in
The text line goes straight to the studio. Here's what listeners use it for most.
Song requests
Want to hear a favorite? Text the artist and title and your DJ will work it into the next set when they can.
Comments & shout-outs
Say hi, send a birthday shout-out, or tell us what you think of the show. We love hearing from the listening area.
Contest entries
When we say “text the keyword to win,” this is the number. Text the on-air keyword to enter our giveaways.
Weather closings
Snow day? Text in school, church and business closings and we’ll get them on the air and the website.

Hours & etiquette
The text line is open around the clock, but it’s most active when a live DJ is in the studio — weekday mornings and afternoons get the quickest replies. A few ground rules keep it fun for everyone:
- Standard message & data rates apply — the text line is free from us, but your carrier’s plan still counts.
- Keep it kind and clean. Messages are read by real people and may be shared on the air.
- Don’t text and drive — pull over or hand the phone to a passenger.
- We can’t guarantee every request airs, but we read every message that comes in.
- For emergencies, always call 911 — the text line is not monitored 24/7.
