Fellow Detroiters- WRIF TURNS 50
Okay, so it's not *really* related to our cars, but it kinda is. Because if you grew up in/around the Motor City, you know what those 4 letters mean. And that means a lot of gearheads will have memories of racing, wrenching, cruising with WRIF playing out their speakers. I definitely do!
Are there any other stations that have lasted 50 years without changing format?

Remember it well, I was more of a telegraph guy than Woodward. Cruising a Green Boss 351 with WRIF cranking out some Ted Nugent, Snake Skin Cowboys..

When my daughter was living in Windsor,On we always played this station when we went down to visit as well when we crossed the border to go out for dinner-great station!
Of course near Toronto we all listen to Q107! Keep on Cruising! Dave

Good Times...Grew up right at 13 mile and Woodward...
Remember being at the studios waiting outside on one of the many occasions "Big Daddy Arthur P. had Peter Wolf from the J. Geils Band there during interview..They were great friends...Back then Arthur P. knew all of them... Who could forget the ships horn going off with him announcing..."Its 75 rock and roll over degrees"...Real memories... Arthur would not have lasted over there these days...unfortunately.... He is still Rocking...

It’s been a while since I listened to WRIF.
I found this WABX bumper sticker on the back of a closet door in my last house
