According to Metroland, WEXT was named "Best Music Station" in the Cap District in their 2008 Best Of!

Last year, we were awarded their
"Most Optimistic Format Change."

Congrats to our Local 518 friends
who also won! So much talent...hot stuff!

Thanks, Metroland!

This is the text from Metroland's site:

"What seemed like an experiment has the potential to become an empire: Exit 97.7, as the station is colloquially known, has cemented its spot on the Capital Region dial with an great mix of music (technically "Triple A," or Adult Album Alternative, according to radio- formatting standards, though that classification spans the divide between Radiohead and Dylan), a strong commitment to the local music scene (they're playing roughly two regional acts per hour by our count), and interesting syndicated programming (everything from the Putamayo Radio Hour to Nic Harcourt's Sounds Eclectic). The listener-supported station was recently nominated for a R&R (Radio & Records is an important industry trade magazine.) Triple A award for Best Non-Commercial Radio Station in a small(er) market. We're just going to go ahead and say they're the best around. "
