So a radio fan friend of mine is in town from Akron and we're out for a drive; we happened to be near Marshfield and I told him, "Hey, I've never seen WATD before (neither had he of course),
let's stop in and see what they look like". So we did, and I was impressed by the big building with
lots of studios, memorabilia, and people like owner Ed Perry, local music show host John Shea, etc.
Ed gave us a tour that was fun and informative. I had heard that he's a great guy, and I could tell
others were right about him...and the station. Let's hear it for a unique voice for the South Shore
and beyond (yup we get 'em in fine on the North Shore too), which struggled to get on the air,
worked hard, and stays dedicated.

>>But we realized then that our choice of a site beside the landfill was probably the only thing which favored our permit. And after a victory party where more than a few libations were lifted, we asked the FCC for the call letters WATD…”We’re at the Dump!”WATD is a full service regional radio station, the way some of the old line Boston stations used to be...All of our announcers are “Boston Quality” and our music is oriented toward an adult audience. My wife, Carol, and I work at the station full-time. It’s a family operation. It’s not for sale. And it’s staffed by some of the best people in the business. And, even after 30 years, we’re still having fun.
