WDVE (102.5 FM) is a Mainstream Rock music formatted radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States at 102.5 MHz. It is often referred to by Pittsburghers as simply "DVE." WDVE's studios are located in Green Tree, while its transmitter is located on Pittsburgh's North Side. Since 2006, the station has been the highest-rated radio station in the Pittsburgh market, surpassing longtime market leader KDKA.

The station has aired rock music since 1969, when it was owned by ABC. Previously, it was known as KQV-FM and simulcasted then-sister station KQV. The new programming was a tape service of a freeform rock format entitled "Love", created by ABC official Allen Shaw designed specifically for airing on the 7 FM stations owned by ABC. Shaw changed the format from the automated "Love" format to live free form album rock in 1970. The station's current call letters were chosen in 1971 at the height of the "hippie" era. "DVE" was derived from "dove", the bird of peace. In the fall of 1971, Shaw, along with ABC Radio programming executive Bob Henaberry, replaced the freeform rock programming with the very first album rock "format", playing only the best cuts from the best selling rock albums with minimal disc jockey talk. WDVE was the most successful FM radio station in Pittsburgh throughout the 1970s. In early print marketing, the phrase "Rock'n Stereo WDVE 102.5" was set in white text against a black oval background surrounded by vivid rainbow-like colors. Later, the logo was rendered in white and yellow with red accents against a black background, generally using the slogan "DVE Rocks."

Starting in the 1980s, the station started playing the Beat Farmers song Happy Boy every Friday around 3 PM at the start of the afternoon drive time shift to signal the end of the work week and the start of the weekend. On Fridays at noon, they air a recording of the band KISS saying; "Hey yinz guys! It's FRIDAY!!", immediately followed by "Rock and Roll All Nite".

The following chart is what I use to grade all my records.

Mint (M)

 Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, lf at all.

 Near Mint (NM)

 A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of light handling.

An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

Basically, an LP in near mint condition Iooks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

 Excellent (EX)

 An Excellent (EX) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's Iistening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.

An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

ln general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the

most mint-crazy collectors will find a Excellent (EX) record highly acceptable.

 Very Good+ (VG+)

 Many of the defects found in a EX record will be more pronounced in a VG+ disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches

Covers may have a small amount of writing, Slight seam splits and tears to the spine edges. The same will be true of inner sleeves. However, it will not have all of these

problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Very Good (VG)

 Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be much more evident upon playing. Groove wear and Ioss of gloss, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Covers may have writing, Large seam splits and tears to the spine edges. Ring Wear will be very visible. The same will be true of inner sleeves.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

 Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).

A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape,

writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm  the object.

It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep Iooking to upgrade.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

 The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. lnner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.

NOTE ON RETURNS, PLEASE  READ: we do not consider the odd pop, tick, light background here and there, a tiny skip on a track as flaws on 40+ yr old used vinyl, unless rated NM, they're the norm & most collectors/buyers are well aware of this, we don't expect returns on this kind of thing, however we will take returns in the same packaging for a refund if you're not happy with the minor aging, the buyer pays return shipping in accordance with ebay policy. If however we inadvertently mis-describe the record origin (pressing, label, originality etc) or our  grading misses a major playing flaw that makes the record virtually unlistenable such as repeated skipping or groove sticking, ongoing loud worn background or loud regular pops/noises then we will pay for return shipping as long as this checks out on our player when we receive the item back.
