Testimonials
Before we launch into the actual words of some of our great listeners, we would like to thank all of our listeners for their dedication and devotion to WSIE 88.7. Our listener dedication is so amazing that when someone calls the station they refer to us as “my radio station.” To be so dear to so many people that they take ownership of the station is nothing short of astounding.Edward
“Truly the best variety of several genres I've ever heard on a St Louis station. It satisfies the older, not-so-old, and younger sophisticates. We now have artists like Alex Bugnon, Marion Meadows, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Boney James returning back to the scene. Keep up the groove!!”

“The station fills a need in your soul, for great music, never boring, calming and keeps you listening every day!!! No radio station anywhere does a better job than THE SOUND. Our student broadcasters are the absolute best. When you gotta have ‘the blues’, you can find it here! Thank you all, all of you, so much for an excellent radio station 24/7 !!!!!”

“I love the new the Sound! I'm an SIUE alumni and the old station was stale lol. I've been listening regularly for a couple months now and love it. Fresh and the DJs are awesome. Keep it up, you guys are kicking it!”

“Howdy folks. I’ve been listening to The Sound and WSIE for some time. Leo Cheers got me through working midnights back in the 80's and 90's. For what it's worth, I'm 58 now. The format on The Sound is terrific! I enjoy the selections. Thanks.”

“88.7, Thank you for showcasing our local talent. That was my sister Kim Massie I just heard jamming ‘Sail On.’ It does my heart good to be at work and hear my sister doing her thing. Thanks again and keep up the very good work!”Shawne

“Hi Jason! You guys are really doing it right ... the music just gets better and better! Great to hear Larry Carlton! By the way, I did hear Marc Antoine the other day. Thanks! I haven't heard Philippe Saisse yet but maybe I just missed him. I'll keep listening. I like your website too. It's nice to be able to access a list of the tracks you've recently played.”

“I really enjoy listening to your station. In fact, I listen to WSIE more than any other station. Thank you for all of the wonderful programming – especially Diana Krall, Chuck Mangione and Keiko Matsui.”

“When the station first changed format during the funding crisis, I was skeptical. I have been a hardcore Jazz fan since my high school days in the 50’s. Your broadcasters included enough Jazz in the mix to keep me tuned in. As time has gone on, I have grown to appreciate selections from other venues, probably because your broadcasters have focused on the best those venues have to offer. For example, I was drawn to the sound created by Chris Standring in ‘Static In the Attic.’ In short, you have won me over.”
