WDIY Staff Spotlight

WDIY 88.1 FM thanks operations director, Neil Hever , for eleven years of service and contribution to the station!

Neil began his radio career as a student disc jockey at Muhlenberg college radio station WMUH during in 1978. After earning a B.A. degree from the college, he spent the next 13 years in commercial radio and sound production at WSAN, Creative Sound studios, and later WAEB.

In 1981, while attending Muhlenberg College, he and another community member joined together to form the first organized group of community radio volunteers in the Lehigh Valley. The group began incorporation meetings in 1984 and spent the next decade building support for a new community based station.

WDIY 88.1 FM began broadcasting in 1995. Neil joined the staff in August of 1997 as Program Director and was promoted to Operations Director in February 2008. His duties include training volunteers, maintaining the broadcast facility and schedule, organizing the production studio and music library maintenance.

Happy anniversary, Neil!!

What’s in the player at the top of this page changes quite often. The major update occurs on Fridays when the latest Musings and Culture Calendar (Pop, Classical, and Community Bulletin Board) are uploaded. Musings lasts for only a week and the Culture Calendar is deleted on Tuesday because it is out of date by then. If there is a new Lore and Legends, that, too, is uploaded on Friday. Everything else comes and goes according to how relevant it is at the time. So, please, check back often so you don’t miss anything.
