Wrti-Jazz 90

El Viaje every Saturday night 9 to 12 is awesome. Guaranteed to get ya up and dancing! All commercial free too!

The music, both classical and jazz, is excellent. However, their incessant fund-​raising messages are enough to drive a listener bugs. Worse still, they have spring and autumn fund raising drives during which the listener is subjected to continuous blather, endless repitions of their telephone number, and very little music. One of the drives is 1 week, the other 2 weeks. I’ve given up on this station and found numerous others on the internet. .. stations that are more considerate of their listeners.
In all fairness I must add that I’ve recommended to the CIA that WRTI be awarded a commendation for devising a means of torture that even the most ardent liberals cannot condemn: One hour of their mid-​morning fund raising, played over and over, will unquestionably reduce even the most hardened terrorist to a quivering mound of Jello.

Great music ! The only station where you can hear REAL jazz, not elevator music. Bob Perkins is a gem. BP with the GM. A sublime radio announcer, and to think of it he’s the only decent one in philly.

Harrison Ridley Jr, A WRTI DJ that was so full of Jazz culture and knowledge has just passed. For those that remember him and his show say a prayer– «Yes Indeedy»

Best radio station in Philly, day-​in and day-​out.

Oh, I take it back. I said in a previous review that the only radio station I listened to for music was 88.5. Not true. I love 90.1 and I used to listen to it almost exclusively.
The format is basically classical in the mornings and afternoons, jazz all night. Bob Perkins’ show comes on Mon-​Thurs from 6 – 9. He’s one of the most colorful guys in Philadelphia radio. «This is B.P. with the G.M.,» he says — Bob Perkins with the good music.
For great weekend programming check out Crossover with Jill Pasternak from 11:30 — 12:30 on Saturdays. On Sundays mornings check out the legendary Marian McPartland’s great piano jazz show, followed immediately by Jazz from the Lincoln Center. All great programs for casual jazz fans and aficionados alike.

this place is awesome.
