It's hard to believe in this day and age that a radio station has gone on the air and retained its format for 20 years, but that is exactly what WDRV, 97.1, simulcast on 69.9 FM toward the Wisconsin border where we listen to it.
It was a classic music station before that for many years (which also featured the late great Mr. A doing his Blues and R&B overnight show).
This station is one of my three favorite radio stations in Chicago that I listen to most every day: WXRT and MeTV-FM are the other two.
I listen to the Sherman and Tingle Show every morning, then Bob Stroud at midday, especially his Ten at Ten at 10 AM and PM. Plus, every weekend, they have the Time Warp with Bill St. James on Saturday mornings, the Acoustic Storm Sunday mornings and, best of all, Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Show.
Never let it be said I don't like my Classic Rock.
Bob Stroud has been with the station the whole time. I think he has found his Radio Home as he ages.
This Monday marks the 20th anniversary of their first day and they will be playing the songs they played that day in honor of it.
So, Happy 3/15 Ides of March, WDRV. --RoadDrive
