Memorial Day - WDPR
Happy Memorial Day everybody! Enjoy the unofficial start of summer and remember all those who sacrificed their lives while serving their country in the United States Armed Forces.
Yesterday we went to the Dayton Heritage Festival which is held every year on Memorial Day weekend at Carillon Park. In the evening we had the pleasure of seeing my stepson Randy play the bassoon with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert was excellent and we finished the night watching fireworks explode high above the park's bell tower.
WDPR [W Dayton Public Radio] had a booth at the festival where I grabbed one of these handy stick fans.
88.1 FM WDPR is Dayton, Ohio's Classical radio station. They signed on the air in 1985 and also broadcast at 89.9 FM licensed to Greenville, OH.

WTWR
Detroit, Michigan's WTWR "Tower 92" started out as an Adult Top-40/Oldies station in the late 1970s. By 1981 they had become a full-fledged CHR station but this format lasted a mere 15 months before they switched to Country. The tower in their name referred to General Motor's newly-built Renaissance Center where the WTWR's studios were located. 92.3 FM is currently Urban Oldies/Adult Contemporary WMXD "Mix 92.3"
The back of the sticker dates it to 1980. (Click it bigger.) I'd love to wear one of those "Tower 92" belt buckles and t-shirts while drinking my 39-cent Big Gulp. Somebody wrote "WCXI-FM" at the top--these were the call letters after WTWR flipped to Country in 1982.

National Waiters and Waitresses Day - WXOU
Today is National Waiters and Waitresses Day. Go out to eat and leave your favorite server a little something extra. Besides, these workers make a paltry $2.13 per hour in many states (mine included) and depend on tips for the majority of their income. This minimum wage has remained the same for 22 years!
88.3 WXOU serves up a Variety format from the campus of Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Michigan. They were named the Michigan Association of Broadcasters College Station of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
