Because I wasn't able to listen to all of WSIE's Top 88 Songs Of 2025 countdown last night, I appreciated general manager Jason Church doing something I'd never heard another DJ do: After the number one song concluded, he reread the titles, artists, and countdown placements of all 88 songs on-air. I was on my way home at the time and sat in my parking lot until I'd heard all the placements in order, from number 88 to number 1.
Thanks to Church's recap, I learned that two of the songs I'd chosen for my Favorite music of 2025 rankings, Butcher Brown's cover of "Dinorah Dinorah" and Dw3 featuring Peter White's cover of "Ventura Highway," made it into WSIE's countdown.
I appreciated the summary of the station's top jazz tunes for last year, and I'm thankful that WSIE 88.7 FM remains a well-programmed local source for jazz and other compatible formats.
