WDMV 700 Walkersville MD
« on: January 15, 2010, 0444 UTC »
A local daytimer here, WDMV 700 is back on the air as of Monday, January 11, 2010. They were off the air for most of the past year after their owner went chapter 11 in a big family spat. They're running a weird mix of Beatles anthology out-takes, fifties music, twangy  old country, and an occasional 80s rock song. No commercials, and only an overlay station ID at the TOH.

Despite their license they haven't shut down at sunset at all this week. They were on at least past 8PM the past couple of nights, eventually losing out to WLW. So if anyone out there hears a song by the Flying Burrito Brothers on 700 it's sure to be WDMV violating their license.

Gee, Cos, you say that as if it's a bad thing.   ;)

Now, 'scuse me while I go kick myself for selling my Gram Parsons vinyl several years ago...

Oh no.. quite the contrary.

They obviously didn't give their playlist a thorough enough scrubbing. This morning I heard them play a song with the lyric "1..2..3..4.. we don't want your f00kin' war" except the word they used was not "f00k."

Quite a thrill to have such a station on the air here.

I remember they used to run investing programming a year or two ago, and didn't they run the Greaseman for a while before that?
