WDCB
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WDCB is a public radio station based on the campus of College of DuPage, in Glen Ellyn, IL. The main focus is jazz.
WDCB 90.9 FM was founded as a 5,000-watt station in late 1977, and its original format was a mix of classical and news programming. Since then its format has expanded to include jazz, roots-rock, bluegrass, traditional country music, Celtic, folk, blues, reggae, New Age, Acid Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz, big band, 1980s heavy metal, and old-time radio shows, though straight-ahead jazz makes up about 50% of its music programming. Classical music continued to be heard on the station until late 2005.
Unlike most college-based stations, WDCB-FM is not student-operated, but rather very much professional in design and output. COD students, however, do work at WDCB's offices as aides for limited hours during the week.
The station manager of WDCB is Scott Wager; an employee at WDCB since 1981, he assumed the title in 2001 following the retirement of station founder Sid Fryer. WDCB's programming director is Mary Patricia LaRue.
WDCB's current crop of on-air personalities include Bruce Oscar, Barry Winograd, Paul Abella, and John "British Buddy" Burnett, all of whom are prominent Chicago-based jazz musicians. WDCB is also the current home of "Those Were The Days," the long-running old-time radio program hosted by Chuck Schaden.
