Reel of the first day of 90.5 WUOL on air.

In case you missed it, here's what our first sign-on sounded like in 1976:

Thanks to the University of Louisville School of Music Archive for transferring the reel to digital, and thanks to Chris Allman for mastering it for broadcast.

And thanks to our friends, far and wide, for calling us with an anniversary greeting. Listen to them here:
