Metro Minute – Local news headlines at 2:50 pm and 5:50 pm

Daily WTF – Everyday around 3:20 pm, a little somethin that’ll make you say: “WTF!?”

4 @ 4:00 – YOUR 4 song playlist on the air!

E-mail your artists/songs to Corey at corey@897theriver.com Let us know where you listen from, and if you have any stories behind your song choices, feel free to share em! At least 2 of your songs have to be songs that The River normally plays.  If you have a specific date that you’d like your 4 @ 4 to air (such as birthday, anniversary, ect) please email your list well in advance. All 4 @ 4 lists are played in the order that they are received. Please, as a courtesy to getting as many listeners’ 4 @ 4’s played (and to my inbox), do not send me multiple 4 @ 4 lists.  In other words, please do not send me another 4 @ 4 until after your most recent one has played.  Thank you in advance for extending this courtesy.  No playlists over 20 min long please.  I can’t play 4 songs that are each 7 minutes long.  We ain’t got time for that!  Please no songs with an excessive amount of FCC violating lyrics.  In other words, that song you love that has 32 F-bombs in it?  No, I will not edit out those 32 F-bombs.  I ain’t got time for that!  I will instead ask you to choose another song.

89-7 “The Morning Fiasco” 6a-10a is proud to announce the perfect fit of “Jake & Eliss”!  Jake Ryan returns to the airwaves of KIWR. He started out at iconic Alt Rock station KEDJ The Edge in Phoenix when he was a young punk after learning under “Free Beer And Hot Wings” who began their syndication domination at KIWR.  Now he’s our Punk!  Eliss Hall fell into our lap through the local metal music scene.  You wouldn’t believe that the voice you hear that’s sweeter than honey on the Morning Fiasco is belting it out with her band “The Tale Untold” on TikTok and with 1.8 million hits on Instagram, she’s undeniable.
