In fairness to WILM, they have a far smaller staff now as compared to WDEL which has grown their staff during the past few years while CC keeps cutting WILM's staff. So if the few folks remaining at WILM (talk about multitasking) have a choice of preparing on air stuff vs fooling around with the web site, my guess is, the on air stuff will take priority.
I listened back and forth to both WDEL's and WILM's coverage. WDEL's had guests and was exactly what WILM under Allan Loudell did when he ran WILM for many years. So today's WDEL, with Allan Loudell, is what yesterday's WILM was prior to CC taking over. WILM had all the same info last night, just minus all the guests. Both served the community with the up to date info (both were getting it from the state website). I agree that CC hasn't made WILM's job of being a News/Talk station very easy, but at least they've allowed it to still be a real News/Talk station, just with far fewer people, meaning those few folks worked their rear-ends off to offer the info/analysis they offered last night. I've worked with most of those folks. They're dedicated radio folks. Also WILM and WDOV were doing the statewide simulcast with Phil Feliciangeli broadcasting live from WDOV's studios.
I used to comment when I worked at WILM back at 12th and French Sts, that it would be interesting to hear what WILM sounded like IF they had all the great equipment that WDEL had. Well, now we know as WDEL now does what WILM did back then, but WILM had extremely inferior (circa 1970's) equipment in a broken down old building. Now WILM has the great equipment and very few people, that is unfortunate, but those folks are making it work.
