WHAD To Become the New WFMR

 Wisconsin Public Radio announced that WHAD-FM (90.7) of Delafield will begin an all-classical music format on Monday, 5/20/24.

That ends a lengthy drought for over-the-air classical music fans, as the last all-classical Milwaukee area station, WFMR, turned off its format at midnight, June 26, 2007.

WFMR started up with ambulance money (Baker/Curtis Ambulance), survived on paper money (Cofrin of the Fort Howard family) and also on stereophone cash (Koss.)  But the format simply could not draw enough advertising dollars to sustain itself.

So here's a quiz for all 13 remaining WFMR listeners who also read this blog:

1)  What was the name of the morning host?

2)  What was the name of the midnight-6A (all jazz) host?

3)  One of the owners was married to a VERY hottie soprano soloist.  Name either the owner or his wife.

Please place your answers in the combox.  We may come up with a prize, but don't count any chickens.
