Who Knew All About WNZR?!

Today was Who Knew Wednesday on the Afternoon Drive! Since we’re getting ready for our big 30th anniversary party this weekend (all the details are over here), I decided to talk about WNZR!

Here’s some of the highlights from WNZR’s history I shared:

  • In 1982, MVNC applies to the FCC for an educational, non-commercial broadcast license
  • MVNC received the construction permit from the FCC in January of 1986
  • October 1, 1986 is WNZR’s official birthday as stated in the FCC radio license
  • WNZR became “The Lifeline” in 1995 and held an on-campus contest for someone to design a logo. The current logo originates from the work of an MVNU student
  • Marcy Rinehart became the station manager in 1996

That’s just a little bit of WNZR’s exciting history. Make sure to come to our anniversary celebration to learn more and look through a photo gallery from the past 3 decades at WNZR!

Our Word of the Day was vamoose (vuh-MOOSS), a verb meaning to depart quickly. You can read more on that here.

Have a wonderful Wednesday evening!
