Grant,  My opinion of in Touch is not as high as yours, but it has
nothing to do with subject matter.  For a service in the largest
city in the United States, I find the quality of their readers to
be very spotty.  They have a large pool and should be able to do
better.  We had much better readers when I was in Chicago.
Further, their timing, openings closings etc., are very ragged and
unprofessional.  For a satellite service, they should hit the top
of the hour with program changes, and they don't.
