WAY-BACK DETROIT RADIO PAGES: DETROIT SCHOOL OUTLET’S AIMS WDTR . . . OCTOBER 11, 1947

FLASHBACKDETROIT (October 4, 1947) — Detroit Board of Education’s FM station WDTR, who’s opening is tentatively scheduled for November 1, is intended to supplement commercial radio and increase co-operation between education board authorities and aircasters, rather than offer competition.

For at least 11-years Detroit commercial stations each have carried one program weekly produced by the board. They welcome educational activities — in contrast to the cold reception given them in many cities.

The standing of Detroit educational radio is indicated by the award of merit last year, by the National School Broadcast Conference, to Mrs. Kathleen Nicoles Laride, Detroit supervisor of radio education.

WDTR’s schedule calls for three hours or more of programming a day, five days a week, with the station going off the air while education shows are carried by any other station.

Of the 16 programs logged for WDTR nearly all are locally originated. However, it will also carry the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) series ‘School Of The Air,’ each day, with a direct wire hook-up from WJR, local CBS outlet. In addition, special transcribed shows will be presented. END

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
