WDEA Open House tomorrow!!




For those of you who will "just happen to be in the area" tomorrow Wed.
Oct.23. WDEA-1370 will be holding its' second annual open-house 
at their Ellsworth, Maine studios.
Morning host Rick Foster will be greeting listeners from 8-10AM with
coffee, doughnuts and other treats, plus giving away prizes and
knick-knacks.
He did the same thing last Oct. to mark the 42nd year of broadcasting of
WDEA, now owned by Cumulus, along with WWMJ 95.7, WEZQ 92.9, WQCB 106.5
and WBZN 107.3.

WDEA still does maintain a small Ellsworth studio downtown on Main
Street, which Rick Foster broadcasts from 6-9AM weekdays. The rest of
the time they are Satellite-Fed "Unforgettable" Standards.

Last week, in observance of  Band/Orchestra/Chorus leader Ray Conniff's
death on Oct.12th. Rick played 3 hours of Ray Conniff music!  I think
that gives you an idea of the demographics of thef audience
listening..but it was live and local!!  And he says he got NO
complaints!

Happy Birthday WDEA, Still transmitting from their shore-side
transmitter site on Newbury Neck in Surry,  with 5,000 watts day and
night, although directional to the E and NE at night.
