		Ed was the DJ as true rock ’n’ roll fan… the very spirit of the music he loved.
		Sciaky moved across town to WIOQ in the late 1970s, where a format was developed for young adults who weren’t too old to rock ’n’ roll, but were no longer rebellious youths.
		Sciaky was someone who refused to change with the times, which was both good and bad: good because he refused to compromise his principles about what he believed radio could be; bad because he never evolved as the medium did.

		Ed was good for playing new bands, and I used to like his soothing voice, almost as good as Pierre Robert.

		Ed's death is definitely a great loss to independent music, and rockers everywhere.

		It not only engendered plenty of warm 'n' fuzzy nostalgia, but pointed out just how much we owe Ed Sciaky, Michael Tearson et al, and brought into (depressing) focus the lifeless, generic mediocrity that is contemporary radio at the end of the century.
		Your cover story on Ed Sciaky and Philadelphia Rock Radio was wonderful.
		Ask Tearson, Sciaky, David Dye, Jon Takiff, Steve Martorano or anyone who worked at 93.3 during the '70s and I'm sure they will agree that it was Stevens' creative direction in the early '70s that made WMMR the great station it was.
