Re: Digest for wbru@googlegroups.com - 3 updates in 1 topic

[Vito]

I left radio years ago but am an avid NPR listener both at home, in the car, and via live-stream when traveling. And I read all of Payton's posts and his annual holiday letter. So yes, I follow this group and will listen to Adam's shift later today.

Back to the Summer of '70

Adam Blistein <blis...@comcast.net>: Jun 24 09:27AM -0700 To keep myself out of trouble (mostly) in my retirement I've latched on to a community radio station in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. I don't yet have a regular shift, but I am cleared to be anyone's replacement. In most cases that means subbing for people weekday afternoons when the station has a "big band/swing" format. That format admits of a lot of interpretations, and I get to play the 20s-40s jazz that I've been listening to a lot for the last 30-40 years. However, evenings and weekends, the station has an oldies format that admits of a variety of niches, and tomorrow (June 25) night from 7-10EDT I have one of those slots for the first time. The first hour will sound mostly like SNDP in the mid-sixties; the last two, like BRU-FM in the Summer of '70.   Call letters are WRDV-FM, and it has four different low-power frequencies in the Philadelphia area. Its Internet stream (WRDV.org) is pretty reliable.   Adam

"b&p" <bsa...@verizon.net>: Jun 24 04:35PM -0400 WRDV is a fun station. I’ve encountered a few folks involved with it over the years. Unfortunately, the signal doesn’t reach as far north as Chatham, our town, and I seldom listen on the computer – but there are a couple of stations now that have asked me to listen in and one to be involved. We’ll see how that goes….     Good luck with the show (although I’m sure you’ll be great). We’ll be at an outdoor New Jersey Symphony Orchestra concert so I’ll probably miss most of it unfortunately. (For what it’s worth, NJSO has turned into a remarkably good orchestra, and this annual event is a local “big deal” at Giralda Farms, a former estate, now office park.)     Thanks for helping keep this list alive, Adam. By the way, who else is still aboard and reading these missives?     Paul     www.paulpayton.com   www.presenceproductions.com       From: wb...@googlegroups.com [mailto:wb...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Adam Blistein Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2017 12:28 PM To: WBRU Subject: Back to the Summer of '70     To keep myself out of trouble (mostly) in my retirement I've latched on to a community radio station in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.
