Best at what?

Are you talking...

Best programming, as in best music selection?

Best DJ's?

Best signal strength?

Best processed audio?

Best ratings?

Best whatever?

Personally, I think that WDVE does the best Steeler game coverage. No other station in town broadcasts the Steeler games better than WDVE.

WPGB is the best all-talk station on FM in the city.

WQED-FM is the best classical music station in the city.

WORD is the best Christian-talk station in FM the city.

I agree that DVE has the best Steelers Game Coverage. ESPN in my opinion has the best pre game and post game coverage.

You realize, I trust, that I was making something of a joke. WDVE is the ONLY station in town that does Steeler game broadcasts, unless you count the other stations like WJPA that carry the game feed from 'DVE.

It ain't hard to come in first when you're the only one in the race.

Why do you feel compelled to answer?

My fave is PTS, followed by DUQ.

How does an honest and appropriate reply "dick up" this thread?

Every music station in town is tied for first, except for Bob-FM, which comes in second.

Now I'm being serious. I know that I am over 54, so nothing I say counts. I think WJAS is the best in showing programming courage to stick with adult standards and I think Doug Hoerth on Sunday nights is fabulous, plaing to my vestigial memories > I like his use of airchecks from WIBG, WMCA , etc. I think some of them may be Doug doing them himself, but who cares. Renda is willing to stick with this format when others are bailing , like WAMO AM dropping classic R&B. Tampa lost its only Adult Standards station in a sale to Salem which of course put on more ultra conservative propaganda. I also like Stan Wall for his programming. Too bad 103.9 doesn't have city coverage. I hope 770 and 620 will eventually be all Oldies all the time with heritage D.J's . Pittsburgh is one the founding cities of doo-wop. Don't let it die.

Re: Best at what?

You think it's bad when you want to hear music from your youth when you're in your 50's, consider the folks in their 70's and 80's. There probably isn't a single station in town playing Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, either of the Dorsey brothers, or any of the other Big Bands of the 30's and 40's, unless one of the battery powered daytimers carry a brokered Big Band show.

I'll bet that there isn't a radio station in town that even has a working 78 rpm turntable!

To use a well-worn quote, "here we go ..."

(1) I'm not qualified to comment on rock music. While I sometimes get a bit gratuitous and say music died in 1985, let's say I know what I like, and that's not the topic of this particular discussion.

(2) Having said that ... KQV is the best news station, though not by all that much, as Pittsburgh is blessed with news outlets.

KDKA can get better under Marshall Adams, who was pretty good in news gigs here before heading south. He truly will give AM 1020 what the TV side could have called a hometown advantage.
Also, KD certainly has the best array of audio sources, with its TV sibling, CBS, CNN and AP (the latter two also heard on KQV).

(But KQV's Radio Pennsylvania link and its use of the Trib's fulltime Harrisburg correspondents are boosts to AM 1410; also, adding Bloomberg features is a good selling point.)

WPGB is a great headline service, but it conveniently forgets WDUQ when it calls itself "Pittsburgh's FM news, weather, traffic and sports station."

By the way, did anyone notice, ironically, that Fox News Radio started running on WPGB? Interesting ... After the last Pittsburgh Super Bowl, Sinclair's Fox 53 began a newscast (which ended last week, of course). Now, after this Super Bowl, Fox News Radio shows up on FM 104.7. Coincidental, to be sure, but interesting.

(3) Talk is in the ear of the behearer. If you like conservative, WPGB. If you like liberal, WPTT. If you wonder what's going to happen next, KDKA.

(4) Country: WDSY has the personalities, but Keymarket's Frogs do have their moments (such as when the Povertyneck Hillbillies show up for live gigs on Danger Frog's show).

(5) Oldies: Good question.

(6) Classical/Fine Arts: For variety, try one of the West Virginia Public Radio stations that are receptable here, 89.9 out of Wheeling or 90.9 out of Morgantown.

But what do I know?
