TESTIMONIALS

I found your station during my annual trip back to NJ for the Firefighters Convention.
I haven’t stopped listening since.
— Douglas M, Maggie Valley, NC.
I have the highest respect for all you do for our communities. I am a Marine Corps combat veteran and do appreciate what you do for veterans.
— Lou, Cape May
My husband and I just found your Cape May station and love it! I’ve been staying for summers in Cape May for years, and I never heard of your station until now. What a treasure to listen to Annie’s theme of boats today! So glad that you’re online so that we can listen at the shore or at home in Paradise, PA. Thanks for sharing good vibes with your listeners!
— Karen & Richard, Paradise, PA
We are down the shore on the weekends and just found your station. Blown away by the great music.

My grandmom insisted that I find out who is responsible for the Make Believe Ballroom broadcast that she listens to on her Amazon Alexa. She wanted to be sure that the DJ, Eddie Castagnetta, was aware of just how much she loves this broadcast. It brings her many hours of joy and nostalgia, bringing back all of the great memories of her youth. She is 95 years young and a life-long “Wildwoodian.” I love hearing her sing along from her bedroom and wanted to thank you for making my grandmom so happy!

Can’t believe this FM station exists here in Cape May! I found you tonight and won’t change the dial. Thank you, for playing the music and giving local information. Wish you guys would sponsor a dance. There is no place local to just go and dance anymore. No more Starlight Ballroom or Crest Pier dances or St. Raymond’s dances or St. Ann’s dances. Seniors down here really need a place like that. So, thanks for the great music. Please don’t stop playing them!
— Cathy G. from Anglesea
I am one of the original on-air personalities there when Drew was just setting the station up. I have just started listening again in the office of my motel where I manage. Your music is very listenable and enjoyable. I will have it on in our reception office all summer. The station has progressed in a very positive fashion over the years.

I just heard Papa Gene’s Blues! Fabulous
I met Michael Nesmith when he and Micky Dolenz were touring. You have a GREAT station down there at Exit 0 on the GSP!
— Walter M.
We just moved back into Cape May after being away for 30 years. My wife and I met here and are locals, and it’s great to be home. I heard your station this afternoon for the first time, which focused on great guitar solos and classic rock. The whole vibe was great, and I am interested in helping out with the station to include maybe even DJ or whatever help you need.

“While driving home from the Villas on Sunday morning I heard David Bromberg and then Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Conversation With The Devil” followed by Steve Earle’s “The Devils Right Hand” and then “Evil” by Howling Wolf. I have to admit I felt as if I was at the crossroads with Robert Johnson. You truly have a gem of a radio station. Thank you “
— Charles D.
WCFA has become my favorite station. I appreciate the creative programming and great, unique mixes of music that you broadcast. I grew up with the early Philly FM stations and have an appreciation of many genres of music. After all these years I consider myself a professional audience participant. I’m semi-retired and drive on the side. Riders have complimented my profile that I play awesome music. I don’t take all the credit though and feel good directing my passengers who are sometimes visitors or longtime area residents to WCFA. Please continue to engage.
— Tom B. semi-retired, passenger car driver
Listening to WCFA always lets me feel I’m in my favorite place.
— Dave S. New Cumberland, PA
I contacted you a few weeks ago and you played Birdland by Maynard Furguson. I enjoy streaming your station. Thanks for the great music.
