4.3 out of 5 stars from 108 ratings
  • HI Now Daily commercials are too loud

    The morning and evening shows are great, but the frequent commercials with the HI Now Daily host yelling, “Live,” is jarringly loud, especially when listening with earphones.

  • HI Now Daily should be a separate show

    The morning and evening shows are fine. It would be nice if the news shows were kept separate from the program-length commercials and other fluff shows.

  • HI Now Daily should be a separate show

    The morning and evening shows are great. HI Now Daily is not news and should be a completely separate show.
