WSTW wins prestigious NAB Marconi Award!

H

Holland Cooke

Hello from Dallas, and the NAB Radio Show, where, JUST WITHIN THE HOUR, Wilmington's WSTW beat stations in LA, Dallas, and Denver for the prestigious Marconi Award for best Contemporary Hit Radio station in the USA. Accepting, PD John Wilson got a HUGE hand when he beamed, "Let's hear it for The Little Guy!"
 
Amazing! A post about 'STW. And all it took was a Marconi award.
And I'm making the first reply 24 hours later.

I post again my five laws of Radio-Info:
Number of posts is inverse to station quality.
Number of posts is inverse to audience share.
Number of posts is inverse to cume.
Number of posts is inverse to station sales revenue.
Number of posts is directly proportional to staff turn-over.

There is some fascination on this board with incompetence and failure.

'STW and JBR - even 'DEL - are like Timex watches. They just keep ticking (producing programming, getting and keeping listeners, selling spots). Nobody notices.
 
When a person does his/her job right, day after day, year after year, what is there to talk about? What's true about people is true about businesses, including radio stations. Its the "mess ups" that get the attention.

When a news anchor does a good job with 90% of their newscasts, you only notice the mistakes. Like when I heard a particular WDEL news guy the other day trying to pronounce "Sunoco" and he pronounced it "Soon-O-ah--co". He sounded like he had never heard of the oil company before.

Maybe that's because they don't have Sunoco stations in India. ;D
