» Drew's Bio

The host of WNST's "Morning Reaction" from 6am-10am, Mon-Fri, Drew likes the show's name because it fits the style he desires. "Radio Today called it 'the greatest name for a morning radio show in the history of radio' and even though I think that's a bit strong, I agree...it's a great name for a sports talk show," says Forrester. "We all watch sports, we follow the games and we wonder why that happened or why the manager or coach did what he did...and then we react to it the next day. That's what we do at WNST. We react to what we see." Forrester also contributes daily (or in between the 9th hole and the 10th hole) to WNST.net and enjoys the ever-growing popularity of the station's web-site. "On a scale of 1-to-10, in terms of popularity, I think I'm about a 3.5," says Drew. "But WNST.net is a 10. Kinda reminds me of Bo Derek, without the crow's feet."

WNST being investigated

In the spirit of full disclosure, it’s probably best that I go ahead and blog about this before it reaches the internet and we get accused of pulling a “Tiger Woods” and disappearing without making comment.

Rest assured we are cooperating fully with the folks who are involved in the investigation and will wait for their decision before making any further comment.

WNST is being investigated by the National Radio Competition Committee for allegedly “running up the score” on all of our competition this week.

At 4:30 pm today, we received by registered letter a formal complaint, an excerpt of which I’ve included below:

“It has come to the attention of this Committee that throughout the week of December 14-18, 2009, WNST Radio and WNST.net did, in fact, willfully engage in “running up the score” on the various competitive media entities in Baltimore, included, but not limited to, the local daily newspaper, the other two “all-sports” stations in town and several sports web-sites that appear to be conducting themselves as information or news sites when, in fact, they’re nothing more than cheerleader sites for Baltimore’s sports teams.  It’s the opinion of this Committee that WNST did, in fact, willfully distribute so much outstanding content and information throughout the week that none of the competition referenced above had a fair chance to compete and produce a similar level of outstanding work.”

The Committee will review the evidence and render an opinion on the subject within 5 business days.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

The National Radio Competition Committee

P.S.  We enjoyed looking at all of the Ravens locker room videos on WNST.net.  We’re also huge fans of your “Purple Haze” live-chats following all Ravens games.  Keep up the great work!

    I heard you are also up for a ‘Stinky Butt Award.’
    Congrats!

  2. MIKE T Says:

    Laugh now but remember what state you live in buddy.You keep bad mouthing Annapolis over the the way they abused the horsing industry and you will be in the unemployment line with Dr. Powell over at Morgan State.

  3. Rich Says:

    Well, If we had a real playoff system,,you wouldn’t feel compelled to “run it up”on everyone just to impress the pollsters.

  4. Tom Says:

    Congrats, I guess. This is the equivalent to a guy doing a dance after he makes a 1st down when his team is losing 35-0. Yippeeeee!

  5. The "Armchair" QB Says:

    Kudos for whipping up on the competition! Best sports talk show on the air. Best wishes for continued success……
