WLHA Tribute Site

	Earth Day Broadcast 2010 On Sat. April 24th, WLHA was alive and rocking again, with a special broadcast focused on Earth Day, Springfest 2010, and a touch of April Fools. It was four and half hours of radio fun and featured live music performances, over 70 new audio production bits and remote links, as well as dozens of live copy sponsorship elements. We are resting up over the Summer but we will back n the Fall for more. Next special broadcast is a Halloween theme event, scheduled for Sat. Oct. 30th , 2010. We hope to follow this show with the premier of the latest WLHA radio thriller "The Creature From The Steam Tunnels" which stars a large number 1970s era staffers. We hope to have even more of you directly involved in this one. Contact the webmaster if you would like to help produce some content for this scary radio production.

TRIVIA SHOWS

No matter what stations or type of music students normally listened to, when Trivia Marathon weekend arrived, WLHA was the station booming out of radios all over Lakeshore. Large organized teams threw themselves into the contest with major enthusiasm, and audience participation was at an all time high. It was a great opportunity for former staff members to come back and participate. With ringing phones, a log full of commercials, and a newroom full of Trivia Masters, WLHA was a hoppin' place. For a glimpse of what Trivia was like be sure to check out this video WLHA Trivia Marathon 1979. These old airchecks captured a great selection of live and production voices mixing several generations as current and alumni staff dropped in as guests and helped read standings and clues.

Tom Baer and his team of Trivia Masters were the driving force behind these events for years and he was constantly collecting questions as a year long obsession . He tells me he still has all the card files of questions saved just in case we want to cook up another live Trivia Marathon event sometime. You never know...

Andy Arns solo show finishing upTrivia Marathon 1977. For several years Andy was given the prestigious closing air shift for Trivia. Apparently the programmers figured this was a good idea since most of the Trivia team listeners were either asleep or far too exhausted by that time to complain. Spin those frisky discs Airwaves.

Casey the K does a solo Trivia show in 1978, complete with lots of live commercials, but has help from Andy Arns, T. Baer, and M. Scott Young. The Song Capsule contest causes a commotion as complaints came in from the commercial radio stations in town, that they were getting swamped with incoming calls requesting help to ID the mystery songs. As a bonus, the aircheck tape kept running and recorded the beginning of the Jan Steffes and John Skattum show that followed at 8PM.
