CityBeat column: Poor WAIF-FM

This week’s CityBeat column tackles an old, but still somewhat existent (though I’m just so tired from all the corruption), concern of mine, WAIF-FM.

I quite literally fell in love with the place in 2005, when a friend asked me if I wanted to apply for a summer program. The Brian and Joe Radio Show, full of local talk and news, aired for 10 glorious weeks. It won an award for best summer show and confirmed a dream I’d had since childhood to host my own radio show. It was a blast.

City Beat: Wessels: Keeping the Dream Burning: Wessels: Columns.

I tried my darndest with the place, but got nowhere fast.

    Just curious if you had any further issues with WAIF. Going through a few problems with them now, like censorship and hostility. Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Thomas,

    No, I never had any further issues with them because I left. They won – and drove me out.

    The situation there was crazy – and designed to be that way. It’s a sad, sad situation up there.

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having similar problems. Hopefully they’ve worked themselves out by now.

    Joe
