DETROIT — WDTR-FM, student radio station owned and operated by the Detroit Public Schools system, will celebrate its 25-years of educational broadcasting on February 5. In the interim, the station is hoping to locate as many former students as possible, to help highlight the event, which will be underscored by a week of special programming.
Since its inception, WDTR-FM has seen its program integrated into the curriculum of the Detroit Public Schools through regularly scheduled series incorporating direct instruction, entertainment and general community information. The station’s radio workshops have also provided on-the-air broadcast experience to many students, with workshops currently offered for students from Northeastern and Northwestern high schools.
Former WDTR participants interested in the anniversary may contact Miss Mary Daly at Detroit Public Schools, Department of Educational Broadcasting, 9345 Lawton Ave., Detroit. END
