WMCA is the station you tune to by choice, not by chance... and your choices make up the musical pattern of this easy listening spot on the dial at 570! The millions of listeners in the Metropolitan area represent a wide variety of preferences... and though there appears to be a trend toward more country-western and Dixie type melodies, what you all will like in 58 is anybodys guess! But in any event, youll get the best -- and hear them first -- when you tune to WMCA!
