WHFR DJ Receives Inaugural “Making Waves” Award
Long-time WHFR-FM (89.3 FM) DJ Joe Sullivan is the recipient of the inaugural “Making Waves” award for his many years of service at WHFR, HFC’s student-run, non-commercial, independent radio and internet broadcasting station.
“It’s a nice feeling,” recalled Sullivan, of Dearborn. “This was totally out of the blue. I didn’t know I won it until it was announced. It was a well-kept secret around here. All of us were at a WHFR staff meeting when (WHFR general manager) Susan McGraw announced it.”
“Joe’s passion for music, unwavering dedication, and boundless generosity have left an indelible mark on our community,” said McGraw. “Beyond the airwaves, Joe’s love of broadcasting and WHFR knows no bounds. Whether lending his time and talents to special events or simply lending an ear, Joe embodies the spirit of community and compassion that lies at the heart of WHFR’s mission.” CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY

Start Your Labor Day Weekend Early with “Theme Attic” and Host Phil Maq!!!
Labor Day Weekend is the last unofficial weekend of the Summer. It is filled with so many options that someone could drive themselves crazy trying to figure out how to squeeze in all of the festivals, traveling, Bar-B-Qs, and socializing. Theme Attic, a musical variety show hosted by Phil Maq that's loosely based on subjects, is heard on Wednesdays from 12PM-4PM EDT, and will touch on some of those as well as celebrating the reason for the Holiday by featuring some songs about work, and, well, uh, labor!
You may even hear some of those same themes recurring on other shows on WHFR for the next week!
But get your week started early by kicking it off on Wednesday's Theme Attic with Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EDT!!!
