I can’t stand robin bailey her voice is like finger nails on a chalk board, marto fine, moon man fine, nick cody fine, any other female announcer fine!…flipped it over to Triple M a few months ago to give it another shot and she was bawling her eyes because someone said a person lost their battle with mental illness! Its just how it was worded and it was absolutely cringeworthy she made a big deal about it and quiet frankly freedom of speech with it! Didnt she get the ass from 97.3? For shit ratings?? Get rid of her and ill go back in the mean time Straight back to nova or hit 105
