Statistics used to calculate radio station don't take college students into account. Though KISS-108 has consistently received stellar ratings, these opinions do not necessarily reflect the station's success at Harvard. FM took to the streets to expose some of what Harvard really thinks about KISS...
Nancy Fu ('00/Leverett House):
"I listen to it in the mornings while I get dressed. Sometimes, actually, I'll just dance around naked to it. Actually, I usually have panties on, but sometimes I guess I'm totally in the buff."
Francis Kim ('99/Lowell House):
Director of Harvard Opportunes
"When we're putting our pop-medley together, we use it as a good reference...It's very very mainstream pop."
Adam "Waka" Green ('99/Winthrop House):
"KISS-108, like all Boston radio stations, is a piece of tripe, All they do is play songs that I actively despise. All I do is listen to CD's and classical music because I'm so revolted by KISS-108. Celine Dion can kiss my grits."
Lindiwe Dovey ('01/Weld Hall):
"I would be happy to listen to KISS-108 four times a year. Once every three months would be okay, because they play the same bubble-gum songs everyday."
Daniel Olmos ('99/Eliot House):
"I listen to KISS-108 because whenever Hector Vargas the Freakin' Puerto Rican, the Latino on the Loose, the Hispanic Causin' Panic is not the DJ on my favorite radio station (94.5) I switch it to 107.9. It's actually number two on my radio buttons."
Michael Bohlmann ('00/Cabot House):
"KISS-108 is basically like every KISS radio station all around the country. It's for your average teeny-bopper."
J. Graham Nelson ('98/Eliot House):
"I listen to KISS-108 when I run because the energizing rhythms propel me."
