Let’s go back in time for another classic WISL aircheck. In this recording we check in with Mikey D who was holding down the Saturday morning shift on 95.3 WISL-FM. At this time WISL had recently shifted from a format of mostly Classic Rock to Oldies and was being branded as “Whistle FM.”
This is a great example of what a full-service Saturday morning at WISL-FM sounded like, complete with weather forecasts, sports updates and even a horoscope rundown.

WISL-FM Aircheck – Mikey D. Saturday, March 18th, 1994
Since the mid 2000’s WISL Radio has broadcast live from Shamokin’s Anthracite Heritage Festival of the Arts on Memorial Day weekend. Each year is a little different, however one thing that remains consistent is WISL Morning Mayor, Tom Kutza is the host of the program.
Courtney Roberts, Bernie Flynn, Al Michaels, Jeff Mattox & Tom Kutza at the 2022 WISL Reunion.
Every year we have been able to provide some WISL history mixed in with other interviews including political figures, local entertainers and WISL listeners. This year, we decided to take a slightly different approach. In 2021, we unveiled our WISL Studio Museum in the Shamokin Museum located at Bamse Coffee at 150 East Lincoln Street. With this focus on the history of WISL, we felt it would be appropriate to focus our broadcast as a WISL Reunion Show.
The response was incredible and we were able to bring quite a few WISL alums together to reminisce about their time at Shamokin’s hometown station. In this exhibit, we present the entire WISL Reunion Show. Listen as Tom Kutza chats with Bernie Flynn, Courtney Roberts, Al Jeffries, Dave Leonard, Chris Roberts, Bob Woodley, James Wagner, Edward Washuta, Joe Anthony and Mikey D in this incredible reunion.
