History Of DStroyer

DStroyer (also stylized as "D-Stroyer" and "D. Stroyer") began his radio career as a music dept. assistant and board operator at alternative rocker WPLY Philadelphia [1] in September 1994. He left WPLY in October 1996 for weekend DJ positions at top 40 WAVT-FM in Pottsville, PA and hot AC WAYV in Atlantic City, NJ before settling into weekends at then-top 40 WSBG in Stroudsburg, PA in December 1996 under the name "D.C. Taylor".

In May 1997, he was promoted to the position of night AND overnight DJ (6-10pm & 2-6am!) & Music Director at WSBG. After assisting the corporate VP of Programming in transitioning the station to a hot AC format, he left the station and was offered a weekend position at top 40 WBHT (then called "Hot 97") in Wilkes-Barre, PA, in November 1997, with the promise of eventual full-time employment somewhere within the Citadel Broadcasting cluster of stations in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area.

The stations in the cluster, at that time, were: WBHT (and its simulcast with WEMR-FM, now WCIG), active rocker WZMT ("The Bear", with call letters later changed to WXBE, and which are now WBSX) and its simulcast with WKQV-FM (with call letters later changed to WXAR, and which are now WBHD), adult contemporary WMGS ("Magic 93"), "Big Oldies 93.7 & 94.3" (WDLS & WSGD, which is now two separate stations - country WSJR and talk-formatted WTRW), then-news/talker WARM, AM station WCDL (I forget the format they were carrying at that time... They may have been simulcasting WARM), nostalgia station 1490 WAZL, and sports-talker "1550 The Stadium" (formerly WKQV-AM, now religious WITK).
(I'll insert 1998-2000, 2003-04, and 2009-15 radio history here some day.)
He is now the afternoon drive air personality at WWRR, as well as the Production Director for the Bold Gold Media Group Wilkes-Barre/Scranton cluster of stations that includes WWRR, WTRW, and WICK/WYCK/WCDL/W264CG/W294BJ.
