1 Comment 10 August 2012

WTTS is celebrating 20 years of World Class Rock this summer. We will be sharing the songs, sounds, and memories from the past two decades every weekday from Monday, July 16th through Friday, August 10th at noon and 6pm. We will also recap five years every Saturday morning from 6am-11am.

All of this will lead to the WTTS 20th Anniversary Concert with Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, and Cracker on the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park on Sunday, August 12th.

Join us in exploring the sights and sounds from WTTS in 2011:

    I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed this music. I think I have been a listener since almost the beginning. I really miss “Phil the Listener”, God rest his soul.But this was a great idea with the 2yrs in music. Keep up the good work!! I work too far away now to listen to you during work hours, but you are my favorite radio station.
