Always Trust A Station Over 50
Leading up to next weekend’s big golden anniversary, WMMR’s 50th Birthday Week officially kicks off today with legendary personality Pierre Robert (pictured), who has been a fixture at WMMR for all but 13 of its 50 years. Each day this week at noon, Robert will host a 90-minute feature focusing on WMMR’s five decades of music — Monday: 2018 to 2008; Tuesday: 2008-1998; Wednesday: 1998-1988; Thursday: 1988-1978 and Friday: 1978-1968.
“To have a radio station go 50 years without changing format is remarkable… and for a rock station, it is unprecedented,” said PD Bill Weston. “I’m humbled by the talent and hard work of WMMR’s current staff, plus all the alumni who have walked these hallways and the listeners who have supported this amazing rock station for over the past five decades. Thank you!” Complete details for WMMR’s 50th Birthday Week can be found at wmmr.com.
