Northshire Communications Alternative WEQX Albany, New York , will mark its 40 th anniversary on Thursday (11/14).
The station first went on air on November 14th, 1984, and is gearing up to celebrate this milestone by inviting back former DJs to reminisce and share their memories with its dedicated audience.
WEQX OM Jeff Morad told #Happens, “If these walls could talk is a common expression thrown around regarding establishments that have been around for a while. Especially one as unique as EQX. “Thankfully, these walls sort of can talk via the DJs that currently grace the studio. And that is what we’ve been doing, reliving the memories while we make new ones. Some stories we’ve heard before, others are just now being told for the first time. It is a lot of fun hearing them all from the listeners and former employees. On the actual anniversary date, November 14th, many of those former DJs are coming back to host an hour or two to share those stories and play music from their era here at EQX. It is going to be a very fun day.”
