I like how the commercials run like the old days... guaranteed 3 to 5 minutes between 15 minute runs. I like the cast but I think fox61 can improve is designate worthy news to specific days and times of the week and make it public what category is covered at such times. At least people will improve keeping up with current events and bring less negative in the news. Example Monday 7 am news weekend crime and state construction plans, Tuesday 8 am states efforts to childs health improvement ...

Repeats commercials two to three times in a row. plays commercials of foreign language non-stop. Wish it was just the news or at least non repeating commercials commercials are okay but listening to the same one over six times while you're just trying to listen to the news is annoying
