David Dye is a longtime Philadelphia radio personality whose music enthusiasm has captivated listeners of World Cafe since 1991. World Cafe is produced by WXPN the public radio service of the University of Pennsylvania.
Dye launched his distinguished broadcasting career as host of a progressive music show on WMMR 93.3FM a pioneering progressive rock station in Philadelphia. During his four-year tenure Dye won accolades for his taste and laid back presentation. After a five-year stint programming radio stations in Maine he returned to Philadelphia where he gained public radio experience at WHYY before being recruited in 1981 by alternative rock station WIOQ 102.1 FM where he made his mark on the music scene for nearly a decade.
In 1989 Dye took his musical quest to WXPN where he hosted the station's Sleepy Hollowradio program. Two years later Dye was asked to spearhead research on the viability of a new public radio program. The research revealed an audience need for a new kind of musical format - one that was intelligent diverse and would give musical guests a showcase for their artistic expression. Based on the findings Dye went to work to create a unique program of musical discovery where listeners would be introduced to an eclectic blend of contemporary sounds from legendary and up-and-coming artists. World Caf was born.
