An Albemarle High School student was killed early Friday when her car was hit by a tractor-trailer on 29 North. County Police say 16-year-old Sydney Aichs was killed shortly after 7 a.m. while attempting to turn left onto 29 North. Police say the collision happened as Aichs was turning left from Ashwood Boulevard out of Forest Lakes South. County spokeswoman Lee Catlin says Aichs was hit broadside by a tractor-trailer driven by 54-year-old Kenneth Barbour of Waynesboro. Police say Aichs died at the scene. Albemarle Police Lt. Todd Hopwood says the preliminary investigation indicates the truck failed to stop for a red light and struck the car in the driver’s side door. Police are continuing their investigation and any decision on possible charges is not expected anytime soon. The county school division's Crisis Management Team has been made available to the students, faculty and staff at Albemarle High School (pictured).

This is the best station in Charlottesville. Just wish your signal was stronger in our Palmyra area. I listen as often as I can. Thom Hartmann, Bill Press and Ed Shultz are my favorites. It is great radio. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Lucille,
Palmyra, VA

While all the shows are good, I am especially happpy to hear Thom Hartmann and Lionel on air in Charlottesville
! This is some of the most intelligent annd thoughtful radio to be found anywhere. And in the mornings, one can do no better than to start the day with Stephanie Miller- the show is smart, funny, irreverent, well produced, and frankly- it's just Damn Good Radio!

Noel,
Charlottesville


Thom Hartmann, Lionel, and Jacki Guerra are simply outstanding; also excellent are Bill Press, Randi Rhodes, Young Turks, Mark Riley, and Rachel Maddow.

Pablo,
Charlottesville

I've never heard it better. The Ed Schultz Show, the best voice in radio.

Chris,
Albemarle County


So glad to have the progressive format in Charlottesville. I enjoy listening to all of your on-air personalities, but often learn something useful from Bill Press and especially Thom Hartmann. Make sure all of your sponsors are displayed on the website so I can support them, too.

Wayne, Charlottesville


Thanks so much for bringing progressive talk to Charlottesville! I despaired of ever hearing from the left on the radio. I especially love, um, all the shows!!

Cherise,
Charlottesville

I really, really appreciate your radio station - it's such a breath of fresh air on the local airwaves and I enjoy the programming a great deal...Your best programs, like Stephanie Miller and Rachel Madows, combine insightful analysis with entertaining, lively and humorous hosts - thanks for having this station in Charlottesville.

Doug,
Charlottesville



I just can't thank you enough for the information I'm getting by listening. And I just can't seem to stop listening. I've told all my friends about you.

--Bonnie Cutright, Charlottesville

I'm delighted that you've decided to carry the Thom Hartmann show on weekdays. I think all the liberals in C'ville will become instant fans of his phat intellect, his vast experience and his profound understanding of our democracy, its history and the issues of the day.

--Craig, Charlottesville


I'm so glad Charlottesville, a city that is predominantly democratic, finally has a radio station that challenges the "right wing" garbage that is usually on talk radio. WVAX is Awesome!

-- Margaret, Charlottesville

I really like Randi Rhodes, she pulls no punches! She is calling out the Bush Administration on their plans to attack Iran, and it is scary stuff!

--Amber, Crozet

Big Eddie Schultz is back in Charlottesville, I thought I was going to lose it when WINA dropped his show, but now that WVAX has him, I listen every night at 7! THANK YOU WVAX!!!!!!!!!

--Paul, Earlysville

This is exactly what this town needs! Some truth syrum! I love this station, and finally we'll hear the truth about the oil companies and the Bush administration!

--Steve, North Garden


Thank you for bringing the truth to Charlottesville. I congratulate you on your stations' format - it is LONG overdue - we have been languishing in "Limbaugh-Land" forever and it is so refreshing to have our side of things, the progressive/liberal point of view, represented at last.


I wish you great success and a long, long run here in Charlottesville, welcome!

-- Craig, Charlottesville


I'm so thrilled y'all have brought progressive talk to C-ville.
I'm telling everyone I know and sending links, etc. I'm so happy, happy, happy I may even go off my antidepressants (which I've been taking since W showed up) Thank you!!!

--Jennifer, Charlottesville

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are exactly what Charlottesville needed. Now I can listen to Ed Schultz without his being preempted by sports. Thom Hartman is fantastic too. Keep up the good work.
