06/06/06 -- Twenty-Four Hours of WREKage

Yep, WREKage made radio history and took over the WREK-FM airwaves for a full twenty-four hours on this, the most special of days for metalheads worldwide. We started up at midnight and continued all day Tuesday, June 6th. Check out the playlist!

If you're interested in acquiring any portion of this broadcast, or all of it, contact Paul C. via the "About WREKage" page.

This was only preceded by WREK-FM's multi-day airing of the entire Merzbox CD collection a few years ago. Some claim we did it 'cause three days of Merzbow was just not enough.

This plaque now hangs in the WREK-FM lobby!
