What do you mean? Delaware today's best radio station. What a FREAKING joke? The morning show sounds like a couple of midday people doing a morning show, oh wait, it is two midday people doing mornings. Middays is aged, PM drive is a talk fest and nights, lol. Music. What the hell are they? top 40, hot AC, Adult Hits? I laugh when I hear Joan Jett and Blackhearts on the "hip" Station.
It's just not WSTW, radio as a whole is dyeing a slow death. The big wigs have sucked the life out and now they are music machines to print money, the product between the records is not a concern anymore. We need more owners and radio could make a comeback, but my $$ is not on that.

WSTW has not sounded good for a long, long time my freind. With the Pete "Booker" way of doing things, what would anyone expect? This is the station that had John Wilson as a morning guy...cut me a break!!!!! .A very stragne station run by a very strange (dis) management. The Three Stooges could do a better job.

In the interest of full disclosure: I haven't like WSTW's music since it stopped being WDEL-FM playing easy listening music (back when WJBR and WDEL-FM both played easy listening music, I preferred WDEL-FM's over WJBR's).
Having said that, Pete Booker, as President of Delmarva Broadcasting's job is to make profits for the stock holders or the owners of their corporation. If what you said is true and WSTW is a music machine that prints money for Delmarva, then Mr. Booker has succeeded in what he as a corporate president is supposed to do. Apparently, even though you and I don't like WSTW many others do including the advertisers. Let's face it, that's really what counts. Just as it does in every other industry. Make money for the stockholders.
Radio is special as it is an expression of art, but the trick is to find a way to express their art be it music, talk, news, drama (well that's an art form of American radio that is gone), sports, etc, in a way that sells. NPR programming is far more intellectual, clever, more thought provoking, in many cases better produced, etc, than most commercial radio stations, but doesn't sell as well as what you hear on the FM dial above 91.9. Commercial radio can't have begathons to get you and I to pony up money for our favorite program as NPR can, so they must go for mass appeal and that's what you get. Radio for the masses. It makes me really appreciate my local NPR (90.9 WHYY-FM, 107.7 / 90.1 WRTI and college (91.3 WVUD) radio stations more as they do take the chance to program the less popular music of many genres, but they also don't have to make a profit. They depend on you and I to support their efforts.

IMHO the last time they sounded good was 1978 when they switched to Rock 94, then to Rock 93.7 due to flack from WYSP, with the automated Drake top 40 format. I think a guy named Anderson was the only voice then Joe Dawson....although I must say Graffitti Radio sounds interesting...they should make that their primary signal....
