Same reply as to the Lehigh Valley board, :- )

Now retired (both from radio and other vocations) I do a lot of odd jobs, mostly home repair, painting, plumbing, etc.
Anything to get me out of the house.
The portable radio is always along. And WLSH is usually the first choice for music. It's been that way since we moved here to NEPA. The wife herself has been an AM-radio/Oldies person since her teens, and she finds these stations on AM like a bat finds a mosquito.
WCNR 930 Bloomsburg ..... WFBS 1280 Berwick ..... the latter-day WHLM 930 Bloomsburg ...... WAZL 1490 Hazleton (now a form of Country) ..... WMBT Shenandoah ...... and WLSH.
Their midday show is terrific ; requests and dedications. I forget the gal's name who does it. Amy? Katy? Her show sounds as live and local and homey as can be imagined.
After she leaves the air, the station's playlist drifts discernably to the mellower A/C - Oldies side. And I don't hear much of them in the morning. But for afternoon roof and paint jobs, they're perfect.
Back when Arbitron wasn't so uptight about releasing their entire 12+ results, T-102 and WLSH were the only two local-area stations to show in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ratings on a faithful basis. They would do so in the lower regions of the book, with like a 0.7 and a 0.4. But they would show.
T-102's appearance is understandable. They have a huge signal; they're on FM, and their consistent plus professional approach makes for a well-earned benefit. Yet, WLSH is playing music on a monaural, AM, directional daytimer.
Oldies 1410 is doing things right, and (to us here) have been doing them right for quite some time.

Was listening to them again at work today. Great mix of 50's, 60's and some 70's -- and with a substitute host!
