9 YEARS OF WHITESTER RADIO

Thank you for all of your nice e-mails regarding the 9th Anniversary/Birthday of Whitester Radio this past month. I'm sorry that I didn't get around to replying to any of them, but I deeply appreciate all of them none-the-less.

I'd like to share the ones that I got from the independent Smooth Jazz artists that I support on  WHITESTER RADIO-SMOOTH JAZZ

"Happy birthday and congrats"
- Margaret and Larry White

"Congrats to you David. Please keep me on your playlist. Thanks for all you do."
- Ronald Turner

"CONGRATS DAVID!!! Hope all is well man. Keep in touch and thank you for your support of my music" - Patrick Yandall

"Hi David Congratulations on your 9TH year"
- Chester Thomas (2-Good-To-Go)

"Hey David. Congrats! Happy 9th Birthday.!"
- Ron (Ropatt)

"Hey there David! CONGRATULATIONS on 9
years!!!! Much continued success to you!"
- Rod Tate

"Hi David, Good to hear from you. I want to thank you for your kindness and support of Airborne all these years. All the best and success with the station. Happy Birthday! Whitester Radio! Peace!
- Thomas Borino (Airborne)

(Note: My birthday isn't until December & I actually celebrated my 9th Birthday in December, 1974. This is Whitester Radio's Birthday only.)

Here are a few other e-mails I received without mentioning anybody's name:

"HEY DAVID CONGRATULATIONS KEEP UP THE AWESOME ENTERTAINING!!"

"Congratulations on a job well done. Nine years really??? Wow!!!!"

"Congrats on 9 years, here's to 9 more!"

Thank you for 9 Great Years of Whitester Radio!!!!


HOLIDAY TUNES ON WHITESTER RADIO

I hope that you've enjoying the Halloween Tunes that I've been playing on Whitester Radio this past month.

This November, I'll be playing the only Thanksgiving song that I have in my collection, which is the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Thanksgiving Theme" from "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" TV Special from 1973. That'll be playing on the Smooth Jazz stream in the month of November.

Back to 1972
Update

Back to 1972 will be a 3-hour show   Hour #1 has been recorded. It now needs to be mixed down to sound like a professional radio show. Afterwards, Hours #2 and #3 will need to be recorded and mixed. I'm looking at an Early 2010 broadcast of Back to 1972 on the 70's stream. Don't forget that Back to 1972 will feature an Exclusive Whitester Radio Interview with Beverly Bremers. Beverly will talk about her 2 hit singles from 1972: "Don't Say You Don't Remember" and "We're Free"

I'm not only "Dreaming Of...", but Giving You
A WHITESTER CHRISTMAS

In keeping with Whitester Radio Tradition, I will start playing Christmas music on all 4 Whitester streams the Day After Thanksgiving until Christmas Day. I'm even going to have some 80's Christmas Music for WHITESTER RADIO-the 80's

Don't worry about all Whitester streams having all Christmas Music 24/7. That's not the case at all. It'll be the regular playlist mixed in with Christmas Music on all 4 Whitester streams.



Looking at the ratings for the month of October, we have a new #2 stream. The Smooth Jazz took over as the #2 Whitester stream. The 60's stream dropped from #2 in September to #3 in October.

Plus, I'm very happy to see that the Whitester 80's stream has a growing audience. The 80's stream has broken the 200+ Hour TLH (Total Listening Hours) for the past month for the first time. It's always good to see the New Stream on the Whitester Block doing well.



I'll catch you on the Flip-Side, Clyde!

Sincerely,
David W. White
