Delilah in the Evenings
For nearly 20 years, Central New Yorkers have known, Nite Lite as the place for love song dedications and requests. Every weeknight, listeners are invited to call and share their feelings with Delilah. Not only does she play your dedications, but she provides advice, hope, inspiration, inner strength and courage if needed.
Thousands of broken and bruised hearts are healed every weeknight from 7-midnight. Delilah is the first to say that a song can't make your life better, it can't make someone love you, but what it can do is talk to your heart, and make you think. Give Delilah a listen tonight. She always seems to have the perfect song for any situation.
About Delilah
I was a small-town girl.
Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old heart.
There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town. One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol.
In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station.
Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job: "Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly.
By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts, wrote and produced commercials. I took the empty soda pop bottles back for the refund. Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I was happy!
It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station. Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my first love.
