How We Got Here From There.

It all started on May 6, 1991. Out of a bedroom window, Dave started a low power FM broadcast station. He played whatever he wanted, and then people around the block started to listen. Friends started to come over during the show. It turned into a weekly record listening party. Then the idea became so popular that it outgrew the bedroom. It moved into a basement. Local musicians started asking about playing the show, and from 1995 until 2001 it was common to hear one, sometimes two bands a week on the air.

The show evolved. It grew a website that first came online in 1998. The show has been streamed online continuously since 1999. It survived a couple of moves, and then in 2003 it settled on its current abode, Dave and Patrick's house. On February 17, 2006, the show, until then named "W" - (dramatic pause) - "DAV", adopted the very fun name WGAY (with a tip of the hat to the old DC radio station of that name), found on the internet at www.wgay.fm.

We're branching out. In 2007 we started a a collaboration with the Washington Blade, now the DC Agenda, DC's definitive LGBT newspaper. Hear segments of our show, presented as an "audio blog," as we give our irreverent take on issues of the day and other tidbits found in the paper!
