Good Morning:
A few administrative notes:
* Between the holiday weekend, and preparing preparing for our annual journey to Las Vegas (NAB Show), IRW will publish on a sporadic basis.
* Broadcasters: It would also be wonderful to hear from you with what's new at your radio or TV station(s).
This Week in Indiana Radio History
Sign-on dates seem to be a prickly matter, subject to great debate, and mostly impossible to confirm. If there's something we need to add to the "calendar," please let us know. Please e-mail us if you have updated information.
April 2: In 1994, 93.5fm in Chandler signs on as WNTC. Today, it's WLFW.
