Editorial - WITT

I listen to a lot of car radio, especially when I am out delivering Gazettes. The most interesting station around is WITT 91.9 FM. Owned and operated by Broad Ripple resident Jim Walsh, the station plays an amazing mix of programming. Most stations have a fixed format and rarely, if ever, stray from it. WITT's format is "Unpredictable". A typical half-hour set might include Chicago, a song from the musical Gypsy, Willie Nelson, Brian Eno, John Mellencamp, a comedy routine from Bob and Ray, and an opera or classical piece. I won't say I am fond of everything I hear on WITT, but there is so much good stuff that I never change the channel. If something is on that I don't like, I know in a couple of minutes they will be playing something completely different.
WITT needs your support to keep this up. Visit www.919witt.org to see what is on the current playlist or to make a donation. You can even sponsor a program on WITT (for very little $$$). Another way you can have fun and help WITT is to attend WITTSTOCK. It will be held on Friday, July 22, 2011, at the Knights of Columbus at 71st and Keystone Avenue starting at 7pm, with $10 tickets which go to support WITT. On the lineup are Tonos Triad, Emily Thompson, Hogeye Navvy, The Rhinestones, Cootie Crabtree, and CW & the Working Class Trio. I will see you there!
