Listener Feedback
“To celebrate Giving Tuesday, I would like to make a donation to WCFA.
...Thank you for being my favorite radio station. ...Thank you for great programming.
I tell my friends it’s like what FM radio used to be.”
“I’m currently vacationing in the Wildwoods and the Cape May area. While sitting by the pool yesterday, I tuned in to the radio and discovered a true treasure trove of musical gems that perfectly suits my eclectic taste. I’m amazed by the engaging playlist and can’t stop listening! Thank you so much for providing such great music. I look forward to supporting your station.

“Back in Cape May have the radio tuned to 101.5 FM. AC/DC and the Rolling Stones are my wife Sally’s favorite. I enjoy jazz, especially horns, such as those of Maynard Ferguson, and Frank Sinatra. Thanks for all the great music.”
“ I have the highest respect for all you do for our communities. I am a Marine Corps combat veteran and do appreciate what you do for veterans.”
“My husband and I just found your Cape May station and love it! I’ve been staying for summers in Cape May for years, and I never heard of your station until now. What a treasure to listen to Annie’s theme of boats today! So glad that you’re online so that we can listen at the shore or at home in Paradise, PA. Thanks for sharing good vibes with your listeners! ”
“We are down the shore on the weekends and just found your station. Blown away by the great music.”
“My grandmom insisted that I find out who is responsible for the Make Believe Ballroom broadcast that she listens to. She wanted to be sure that the DJ, Eddie Castagnetta, was aware of just how much she loves this broadcast. It brings her many hours of joy and nostalgia, bringing back all of the great memories of her youth. She is 95 years young and a life-long “Wildwoodian.” I love hearing her sing along from her bedroom and wanted to thank you for making my grandmom so happy!”
“Can’t believe this FM station exists here in Cape May! I found you tonight and won’t change the dial. Thank you, for playing the music and giving local information. Wish you guys would sponsor a dance. There is no place local to just go and dance anymore. No more Starlight Ballroom or Crest Pier dances or St. Raymond’s dances or St. Ann’s dances. Seniors down here really need a place like that. So, thanks for the great music. Please don’t stop playing them!”
“Great set of music tonight. Thanks for making our at home happy hour so good. Brought us back to our high school years. Be well and happy holiday!”
“I just heard Papa Gene’s Blues! Fabulous
I met Michael Nesmith when he and Micky Dolenz were touring. You have a GREAT station.”
“We just moved back into Cape May after being away for 30 years. My wife and I met here and are locals, and it’s great to be home. I heard your station this afternoon for the first time, which focused on great guitar solos and classic rock. The whole vibe was great, and I am interested in helping out with the station to include maybe even DJ or whatever help you need.”
“You truly have a gem of a radio station. Thank you “ ”
“WCFA has become my favorite station. I appreciate the creative programming and great, unique mixes of music that you broadcast. I grew up with the early Philly FM stations and have an appreciation of many genres of music. After all these years I consider myself a professional audience participant. I’m semi-retired and drive on the side. Riders have complimented my profile that I play awesome music. I don’t take all the credit though and feel good directing my passengers who are sometimes visitors or longtime area residents to WCFA. Please continue to engage.”
“Listening to WCFA always lets me feel I’m in my favorite place.
