WURD 900 AM's Albert Butler

I have a stats tracker widget on this blog. I use it to track my traffic and see where it is coming from. I use it mainly for my Adsense Consultant blog but traffic to this blog is also including in the stats.

With that being said I noticed that there were more than a few people doing searches for Albert Butler and/or WURD Radio. I am taking this to mean that a lot of people are trying to find out where Albert Butler (aka Mr. Midday) is now. He does have a myspace page (which you can find the link to on this blog by hitting the WURD label that appears at the bottom of this blog entry).

Albert Butler used to have a show on WHAT. But if you don't know it by now WHAT has a new owner and a new format - which isn't anything like the old format! The last time I listened to WHAT they were touting something like "independent music".

Albert Butler can now be heard on WURD Mondays thru Fridays from 4 to 7 pm.

WURD Radio - 900 AM

I'm currently listening to WURD Radio's Al(bert) Butler who is on Monday - Fridays 4-7pm. However I only get good reception on this AM station from one upstairs room in my house (that static interference starts to kick in at around 5:45pm) - so currently I am listening to it online.

WURD Radio's Website

So I'm listening to it online and it occurs to me that I could probably listen to it via my Windows Media player - but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that.

I didn't even know that this station existed until a few years ago! My station of choice was WHAT which is now no more! It really is a shame that I didn't know about this station before but at least I know about it now and I listen to it a lot.

Remember that WURD is a community talk station.

Al Butler - aka Mr. Midday!

Here is a picture of Al Butler - aka Mr. Midday who used to have a show at WHAT. I'm glad to report that he is now on WURD, Mon - Fridays from 4 - 7pm. I just found this out today by going to

his MySpace page

If you don't already know WHAT is not WHAT Radio any more. I'm still trying to find out what happened to Mary Mason!

But I'm glad I found Mr. Midday.

WURD is 900 am

The "Death" Of A Beloved Radio Station!

Imagine my shock when I turned on to get one of my favorite radio stations - WHAT - only to find out that there was another format playing!

It seems WHAT has been bought! For those of you not familiar with the station it was a local community talk station that discussed important issues in the Philadelphia area. Probably the most famous host there was Mary Mason. She was also a bit of a controversial radio host.

It seems the station had trouble keeping up financially and that was the reason why it was sold. So far I think that the only alternative station is WURD which is 900AM. This is also a talk show radio station about important community issues in the Philadelphia area. I have had a chance to listen to this station and it is pretty good although I know that they need more sponsorship and advertisers so that they won't go the same way that WHAT did. I also believe that you can listen to them online as well (although I not absolutely sure).

We have gone through so many radio station changes! I believe the first one was when WWDB - also a talk station - changed its format. Then another one of my favorite radio stations - WJJZ - changed its format. But now I have come to find out that WJJZ has moved a little "up" the dial so I can still listen to them and their "smooth jazz" format.

It will be interesting to see where Mary Mason turns up and I do miss some of the other hosts like "Mr Midday" - but he does have a myspace site.

So the number of "my favorite" stations are decreasing. I do know that there is an internet radio station called LaMott Radio which is near where I live and there are a number of other Philadelphia-related internet stations online that I have to find out more about.
