I have tried giving the new morning show some time, but to be honest from the very first day I have not really been able to enjoy it. It seems so forced, so unnatural, not real.

I am disappointed because it was marketed with such hype. My 15 year old was really excited and his discription of the show I will not share, as you can imagine what discriptive words a 15 year old boy would say.

Sorry, but it is the truth and I beleive in honest feedback.

Good thing I pick up the 2 Birmingham stations. But it is really disappointing because I am such a WAYFM fan and supporter.

I think your show is great. I also loved to hear Jack and Betsy so I'm glad they are still around.

I have a twelve year old son and he loves this radio station. Being a supporter, I love the message of Jesus and the music is a blessing. I also support you guys with prayers.

God Bless!

Joe	July 9, 2009

I really like the show so far. I'm afraid you're too smart for the kids and too interesting for the moms, but I like it.

John 6: 26Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."

28Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"

29Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

I still listen in the mornings, but it just isn't the same. I really miss Jack and Betsy. The new crew just don't have the same impact as our own local dj's. My teenagers won't listen in the am at all anymore. My daughter says it's no good without Jack.

The new morning show is okay. I think it was so much nicer with Jack and Betsy. Their personalities really fit with our local communities a lot better.

Adam	July 30, 2009

I like the new morning show. It's clean, clever fun.

Thanks for your feedback on Mornings with Brant. WAY-FM has always strived to bring you the best in contemporary Christian music and air talent who challenge us to live out our lives in real and relevant ways. We believe Brant and his team are the best people to do that right now for the mornings. They have a unique mix of being real in our culture, using humor, imagination and asking pointed questions that draw us deeper into our faith and closer to the heart of God. We realize it is a big change, but hope that over time you’ll appreciate what Brant and his crew bring to mornings in the valley. Jack continues on with the morning show to update traffic, weather, local headlines and all that is happening with WAY-FM. Betsy recently left us. She is on to new adventures and we wish her well. We’re in the process of hiring a marketing & promotions director who will help us continue to reach out to our area with projects like helping Big Brother Big Sisters of North Alabama, Spee...

I love the morning show. I don't know who preceeded this crew, but I throughly enjoy my drive in the morning. Thanks for lifting my spirits with your humor and of course the great music.

(Here's the last of that message)
We’re in the process of hiring a promotions director who will help us continue to reach out to our area with projects like helping Big Brother Big Sisters of North Alabama, Speed Date, Fun Day at Southern Adventures & much more! Please keep us in your prayers during this time of transition.

I HAVE TO HONEST WITH YOU TOM,MORNINGS WITH BRANT ISN'T WHAT I HAD EXPECTED. I DISLIKE THE PROGRAM ALTHOUGHT IT IS STILL CHRISTIAN RADIO. BRANT TO ME IS VERY EGOSTISTICAL, HE WANTS WHAT HE WANTS AND THE OTHERS ON THE SHOW HAVE VERY LITTLE TO SAY ABOUT THAT. WITH JACK & BETSY THEY SHARED THE FLOOR AND WORKED TOGETHER AS A WELL OILED TEAM. THEY NEVER CAME OFF AS BEING HIGHER THAN THOU ADDITUDE. BRANT ON THE OTHER HAND IS AND IN MY OPIOION HAS THE HIGHER THAN THOU ADDITUDE. FOR INSTANCE THIS SAT. 6:30 - 2:30PM I WORKED MY SHIFT AS I WORK MY SHIFT EVERY WEEKEND ANYWAY THEY WERE HAVEING A DISCUSSION ABOUT CUTE ANIMAL ATTACKS OR ADVICE FOR NIKKI'S FREIND THAT NEEDED WEDDING ADVICE. BRANT OVER POWERS THE CONVERSATION AND JUST TO SHOWS HIS DOMINION OVER THE SHOW. ANOTHER FOR INSTANCE IS THE I PHONE THING NIKKI & PABLO HAVE 16 GIG I PHONES BRANT HYPES HIMSELF UP BECAUSE HE HAS A 32 GIG I PHONE -- THE POINT IS POINT LESS THEY ALL HAVE I PHONES BUT BECAUSE BRANT HAS THE 32 GIG I PHONE H...

I'm new to the area and can say I have definitely been blessed by your show. I like some of the questions you pose for discussion. I think listening to your show in the morning helps me get started in the right direction - with God on my mind. My only criticism is that sometimes you can go a little far with the goofiness....to the point of say, an annoying 12 year old. But, I love you guys. God bless.

I never heard of Betsy and Jack, so I can't comment on their show; all I know is I really enjoy "Morning's with Brant". I love their wit and sense of humor, and find myself laughing out loud...a great way to start the day. I find Brant's advice very wise and Godly. I look forward to turning on my radio when I start the day, and listen to Praise 910 in PA.

Hi Brant, and gang. I am a Pastor of a small church in Columbia, MO where I listen to all of you on Switch FM. I am currently attending some training for my job in Huntsville, AL where I discovered you are all serving as well. Great to here you on the air here. I am wondering if you have heard about the new Christian film that is due to be released on Sept 18th called "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry"? It is a wonderful film that will appeal all age groups 8 to 80. In these turbulant times it is nice to see a godly film come to the theaters. You can see the trailer at www.sperrymovie.com . Our small fellowship in Columbia is sponsering the showing of this film in Columbia starting on the 18th of Sept. Your listeners need to start looking for this film in their areas. They need to contact their theaters and get this film in their communities. What Fireproof is doing for relationships and marriages this film can do to peoples relationships with Christ. God Bless you guys I real...

I have tried to give the new show a chance. I missed Jack and Betsy. I listen to the show in my way to work and so far in a 25 minute drive there are times there is no mention of any uplifting message, the word, positive christian feedback or any other that can differentiate this show from any other show in the radio out there except for the music. Is the mission of the station is to proclaim God and Jesuschrist there is very little or none in this show. By the way the show on Friday the 20 about the disco, dancing, moving," get down" and so on, had no essence and sent the wrong message to already confused teens. Hope your show takes another direction and start proclaiming what the station stands for.

I really enjoy the new morning show. I think it's a refreshing change from everything else out there and what you've had in the past (no offense to Jack and Betsy). I enjoy the thought provoking conversations and, I can't help it, Club Awesome. I find the show fun and uplifting. Best of all, my son enjoys the show with me. Thanks for making the change.

ron	August 31, 2009

Hey there: I think at times there is good stuff happening on the morning show but sometimes it is lame and awkward silence and moments of trying to find the next funny thing to say that doesn't end up funny. Not enough listener involvement as the other shows either, people like to be involved.

Sorry I only have a few minutes as I just got to work. But I listened to your discussion this morning about cursing and I wanted to say you are right, it is a matter of the heart. And your statement about shielding your young kids who are pure in heart from this language is right on target. I wanted to throw some Bible verses your way that talks about controlling you words. But as you said God has not convicted you on this yet so I hope you do your own study of His word. We should not look down on people who curse but we do need to point them in this direction - guard your heart and the heart of those around you, learn to control your language. Be holy because he is holy. Bottom line, think about God looking down on his kids and saying, I wish they would not use those words....I wish my pure at heart kids would not hear those words. I wish they could express themselves without using those words. Like when you hit your finger with a hammer you don't say **??///" but "...

Mic****e

September 18, 2009

When is Club Awesome, do you still have it? (I'm in Tallah***ee)

Also, about cursing, the Bible is very clear about taking the Lord's name in vain, it's starting to sound like Wayfm doesn't have much in the way of Christian standards. You can't please everyone and still please Christ. Even young people who listen want to hear the truth, not a watered-down version. There is such a thing as speaking the truth in love, having the love but still having the truth. I really think that someone could go away from your program thinking it's possible that cursing is okay with God. Since you all are in a position of a ministry authority, remember that you will be judged more harshly because of how you lead other people.

Haven't listened in a while so giving you a try again. Was a little miffed with Grant for not letting listeners and Nikki have a different opionion and talking over the top of them. Facebook is a hot item right now and bionic limbs??? Nikki is an executive for a reason! :-) Hold your ground girl!

I love Contemporary Christian music these days. Much better than in the 90s, talent, and quality of production. But it would be nice to hear more of other artists in the Christian music world. I love the top 40, but when I travel through larger cities, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, I hear other artists I've never heard before that are so good!

I love the morning show with Brant. I had stopped listening to the previous morning show and also WAYFM. Now I look forward to it each morning. It is real and interesting.
thanks for the change.

I love the morning show with Brandt, Nikki, and Pablo! I can't listen to any other morning show now. My son also listens and I feel so blessed that we have a station that addresses real life issues in a biblical way. You all are doing such a great job!!! May God continue to bless this station and this ministry!

Will	November 4, 2009

You guys were talking about how someone who is constantly objectified and insulted as being UN-CHRISTIAN when they complain about it, or feel miserable because of all the people--whom they have done nothing to, come out of nowhere and insult them? That's being un-Christian? Really?? So, what you basically said that it's okay to insult total strangers and still consider yourself a Christian. Okay, I get it now. I'm going to start treating rude and demeaning people the way they treat others because of their appearance; because you said that If I just let it happen to me and others it's okay in God's eyes.

It really is true: we know not what we say or do.

p.s. watch out of sudden bursts of lightning.

Hi all. I'm a big fan of Wayfm - keep up the good work. I heard Brant's"letter"
on poverty in America and the argument that we shouldn't focus giving on other countries when there's so much need here and I LOVED it! I would LOVE a copy of what he wrote so I could hear it/read it again. How can I get this?

Kris	November 30, 2009

Cindy,

Here is the link Brant gave me for the letter. I hope this helps!

Grant B. Caldwell

December 30, 2009

Just a thought to consider. I heard the a brief portion of the show last Monday morning while in the doctor's office. The lady on the show referred to Matthew 5:48, saying in effect that it was about how far we are from God and not where we ought to be. The truth is that the word "perfect" there does not mean sinless or making no mistakes. It is the word "telios" in the original language and means to be mature or full grown. The way we are perfect or mature like God is perfect is to learn to deal with those who are our enemies with love and good will. That does not make us without fault, it just makes us like God. He loves us, even when we are sinners and despise Him. Now that is grace.

brant, niki, pablo you guys are honestly the best on wayfm, besides walli, but yall are just as funny. i love listning 2 you every morning. i can not fall asleep with out listning 2 music, and every morning i awake up listning 2 you. yall all rock and i love yall.

Adam Robinson

I agree with you. If you do what's right for the right reason, God will make it work out for you. If it is frought with challenges, then they will make you a better person...so how can that be bad?

Brooke

January 13, 2010

So, Thom, you asked us to give it some time. We gave it time. I still can't STAND the new morning show. It's very egotistical, and sends a bad message to our youth. I won't even allow my son to listen to it. We have given our time and money to WAYfm and although you proclaim WayFM as "listener supported" you refuse to listen to your supporters. I thank God that the FIX continues to follow God, but miss what Jack and Betsy brought to the community.

thom	January 14, 2010

Sorry you feel that way, Brooke. Brant has been very well received in the Valley and most people have picked up on the show's sense of humor and been challenged to go deeper in their faith in God. Be blessed in Him today.

I was one of the lucky few to get to go see "To Save A Life". It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. If there is any parents out there how want to know what your children are going through at school you need to see this movie, and if there is any young adults how think no one cares there is always someone there just look. Thank you Way Fm for the grate opportunity to see a wonderful movie.

Kris Spain

Crystal,

I'm so glad you could come, and so glad you enjoyed it! I hope (like you) that teens, young adults, and parents alike will be affected in a positive way by this movie!!! :)

****o!

I was listening to the station this morning (loved it!) and I heard that you needed prayer for your adoption..you got it :). I was also wondering if you could give me some information about how to adopt a child from Haiti. I have a co-worker that is very interested, and when I told her you were hoping to adopt, she was curious about where to start the process.

I love listening to your show! It brightens my mornings and gets me ready to teach every day :). Thank you so much!

Good job stay faithful and if you save one unsaved you have done God's mission

Dave Brown

The reason I did not like the super bowl Doritio's commercial with the kid protecting his mother was it depicted single parenthood either through divorce or out of wedlock child birth and thus no dad in the kids life and used that to make humor. It's sad that a 5 year old had to be the one protecting this lady from a person who may not have had good intentions.

I love Mornings with Brant! I loved Jack and Betsy as well but Brant, Nikki and Pablo's discussions, humor and wisdom is such a blessing. I think yall made a great decision. I love WAY fm! Have a great day

February 18, 2010

Thank you so much for these comments, the good and bad.

I am so thankful that God has allowed us to be part of Huntsville. There isn't a morning that goes by that we don't interact with you on the phone and Facebook, and think about you.

Thank you for the encouragement. God is merciful to me to use me at all for anything.

In truth, it bothers me GREATLY if people think I'm egotistical. I do think sometimes people completely misinterpret my ironic self-deprecation. (The iPhone bit, mentioned above, is a perfect example.) It's the danger of doing a show that's not strictly literal all the time, and I understand that. Plus, sometimes, I can't say things right.

Anyway, we're so honored to be part of Huntsville, and it means a ton to us every day. When someone says "My eight year old daughter just loves to listen to you guys being goofy!", I'm struck by how good God is, that he'd let us be part of that little girl's life.

i love this station but there is to much talking in between songs we change it whent tht happens it needs to stop i understand them tlking after 3 or 4 songs but evryone no

Jon	March 12, 2010

I think they are great. I actually prefer their discussions to music. Brant's wisdom is definitelly enlightening.

Teri	March 16, 2010

Just wanted to say I love Mornings with Brant, Nikki & Pablo. You guys are my morning inspiration! Thanks so much!
