I listen a lot to WJFK-FM and enjoy the programming, but their traffic
reports suck! I have been in different locations many times while they
are being mentioned on JFK's reports, and the majority of the time they
are way off! For example, I'll be cruising over the outer-loop Wilson
Bridge lanes, light traffic moving at 55-60 mph, and hear the report
saying there are "major slowdowns on the outer loop of the Wilson
Bridge"! Much worse is being slowed to a crawl/standstill there, and
hear the traffic reporter say "the Wilson Bridge is clear in both
directions"! Nope, WJFK's traffic service is definitely out of
synch/touch/tune/whatever...   $^)
