65! Happy Birthday 90.5 FM

Birthday cake with '65' candles

Are you ready for a celebration? We hope you can join us this week in recognizing a milestone for mid-Michigan and WKAR. 65 years ago, on October 4, FM broadcasting on 90.5 was born.

Today, 90.5 is that wonderful place you turn to "on your FM dial," for:

  • Classical music programming -- over 16 hours each weekday, from your community and around the world
  • NPR News and Current State here in mid-Michigan -- fresh, smart, insightful
  • Folk and jazz for your weekend evenings

As we enter our short week of on-air fundraising for WKAR Radio -- FM, AM, HD, Online and Radio Reading Service -- please consider making a special gift. When you call today or Give Now Online, you're helping ensure that WKAR remains vital, innovative and strong in mid-Michigan for many birthdays to come.

Thank you for your support.
