THE FIRST CHRISTMAS * WBFG * DECEMBER 24, 1977
‘THE FIRST CHRISTMAS’
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
___
This special holiday recording, “The First Christmas,” was conceived, created and was narrated and produced by Bob Pratt.
For three straight years, this program initially was broadcast on 98.7 WBFG-FM in Detroit during the holiday seasons in 1975, 1976 and in 1977.
At the time ‘The First Christmas’ aired in 1975, WBFG was Detroit’s only premiere station known for it’s all-religious broadcasting format. The call letters WBFG was also the station’s heralded “acronym” as well. The calls represented their out-going religious radio content heard daily 24/7 on the FM side, “We’re Broadcasting For God.”
A special THANK YOU to Bob Pratt for sharing this special holiday program with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

A MCRFB Note: In 1980, Trinity Broadcasting sold WBFG to Gary Stevens’ Doubleday Broadcasting. The transaction became the highest ever paid for a radio station in Detroit at the time.
With the new Doubleday acquisition that year WBFG became WLLZ in Detroit.
