On Monday, Delaware will begin phase 1 of the coronavirus re-opening process. Even though this pandemic is still with us in a big way, we have to start reopening our economy and moving on with our lives. Now this doesn't mean that the "floodgates" will swing open and we can do everything we did before this pandemic began. That's what I fear the most. The re-opening process is clearly laid out for Delaware but there are lots of selfish, partisan, reckless people who won't tak

I don't know about you but I'm doing pretty well at self quarantine, social distancing and wearing a mask BUT I have the most difficult time managing two emotions in particular. They are fear and anger. Fear because at this point we can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. We can't see our "normal" lifestyle returning at this point. Fear that this virus is proving to be more dangerous than previously thought. The syndrome with children and the fact that it can have serio

Covid 19 has not only disrupted our lives but it also forced a '"new normal" and a different way of doing things. Live TV shows like Kelly and Ryan, Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel and even Satuday Night Live are all broadcasting from home. They will eventually return to a studio for obvious reasons. Radio stations are doing the same thing, and it works! It works just fine. Today's technology has given us the ability to shed all of the bulky equipment. Virtual studios are now beco

It's seems unbelievable that Edgewater Gold Radio has been broadcasting on the internet for 18 years. After leaving an FM station in Trenton, New Jersey and one in Teaneck, New Jersey, I figured that I would have to retire my headphones, for the time being. Internet radio was in it's infancy back in 2002 and I never really considered it. People in radio always have the "bug" in them that just keeps coming back and mine did. I missed radio but didn't miss the hectic weekend s

When programming a CHR or Adult Contemporary station, keeping the playlist fresh is mandatory since it's necessary to provide new music to the playlist on a regular basis. What about an oldies station? Lots of oldies stations use a playlist which rarely changes since new music isn't played on an oldies station. It is still necessary to keep these playlists fresh. I always make it a point to add oldies that I discover from various sources. It can even be from listening to oth

We have wonderful technology at our fingertips but there is one problem, no support. As devices and processes get more sophisticated and complicated, customer service has fallen by the wayside. If you try to contact any company, it seems as if they purposely avoid a live contact. Our frustration builds as the pre-recorded prompts seem to go round and round and never enable us to speak to a "live" person. It seems that most businesses want to do is sell you something and coll
