WHFR News

On Radio Vault Special Edition, Tuesday June 28th at 10 AM, we continue with another from the Great Gildersleeve series. We'll be hearing one of the earliest episodes from 1941 where Gildy is just leaving Wistful Vista. Gildersleeve had been a character on Fibber McGee & Molly and takes a new job as water commissioner of Summerfield. Harold Peary is in his original role. Peary is best known perhaps on the singing Faygo TV commercials "remember when you were a kiddddddd!?" in the Detroit area and also featured in some of the Gildersleeve films.

Today's Acoustic Alternatives with John Bommarito is a special show on 89.3 WHFR.FM. All of the DJs are taking you on some sort of musical road trip this week. Last week John Bommarito took you around Michigan as a preview. This week he will take you to California, Ohio, Chicago, Iowa, North Dakota, Omaha & New York and a few stops in between.

After Acoustic Alternatives stick around for Mountain Stage from Noon-2:00. It looks like Alison Krauss and Crash Test Dummies are among the guests this week.

Go on a road trip with Daddy G at the Malt Shop Monday, May 23rd, from 2 to 4 PM. We’ll play oldies like “I’ve
Been Everywhere, Man”, “The Boy From New York City”, “Down in the Boondocks”, “Way Down Yonder
in New Orleans”, “Tallahassee Lassie”, “Memphis” and many more. Velma will serve up the malts and
Daddy G will spin the platters. Be there for the '50s road trip!

Our gracious host, Henry Ford College, will have a planned power outage for some maintenance work on Friday May 20th. This will likely have us off the air until at least 6 PM that day.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will return to regular programming as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your patience on Friday.

Yep! The rumors are true. Hotwax Radio will be broadcasting every Monday - 10:00 am to Noon starting May 16th. Start your week right, with a slab of wax to satisfy your musical appetite for some fave-rave, obscure, funny ‘n’ freaky, bizarre smorgasbord of audio waves served by the one and only White Rabbit here on the station that making waves!

Happy Earth Day from your friends at WHFR Radio. To celebrate, please listen to the WHFR Journal today at 1pm when we'll chat with Marie McCormick, Executive Director of Friends of the Rouge. Marie will share insights into the ongoing Rouge clean-up efforts and ways we can get involved in making our Rouge River (and our world) a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable place for ALL humans (and all the flora and fauna, too). We'll then hear a powerful story from PRX: Fugitive Waves: Cry Me a River: A story of three pioneering river activists and the damming of wild rivers in the west.
