Video clips from 1993
WMPH began continuous broadcasting with the debut of our new satellite network (Music Channel One) and automation system on June 12, 1997. After that date, WMPH would never sign off again. There was one exception. WMPH deliberately turned our transmitter off on the morning of September 11, 2001.

WMPH Legacy
Clint Dantinne departed WMPH in part to pursue other ambitions including his Dance Radio Network LLC. The radio station was silent during a period of transition. During this time, the school hired a new manager and again renovated the studio facilities. The school no longer uses the wmph.org and mphsknights.com domains.
Clint Dantinne is the founder and former coordinator of the Broadcast Learning Center of the Brandywine School District from 1993-2010. He was also the general manager for Super 91.7 WMPH radio station serving over a half million potential listeners in the tri-state area.
From 2001 until 2010, WMPH was 'The Beat of Wilmington' featuring the dance contemporary hit music format. The last three songs airing on WMPH under the management of Clint Dantinne were:
11:50 PM - Kaskade & Seamus Haji with Haley - So Far Away
11:54 PM - The White Tie Affair - Candle (Sick and Tired) [Razor and Guido edit]
11:58 PM - Paul Van Dyk feat. Rea Garvey - Let Go
The final song ended at June 11, 2010 at 12:01 AM. WMPH 91.7 FM at Mount Pleasant High School was off the air (dark) during a period of transition for a new management team and new online site.
