A 1974 WAVM RADIO BROADCAST SCHEDULE

With only 15 Broadcasters in 1974, everyone who had a Class 3 license chipped in to broadcast during their school study periods. Of course, playing records was a lot more fun than studying anyway, so there were no complaints. The broadcasters would also man the microphones again during the afternoon and evenings.
