WHFR Record Show

THE 15TH ANNUAL WHFR RECORD SHOW RETURNS OCTOBER 12th, 2024 DEARBORN, MI – Metro Detroit's premier volunteer-run college radio station, WHFR.FM (89.3), announces its popular annual WHFR Record Show, returning to the campus of Henry Ford College on October 12th, 2024, in the HFC Student Center Pavilion (right next to WHFR studios in building M). The WHFR Record Show has become one of most eagerly anticipated shows of its kind in the Midwest, attracting vendors and attendees from the tri-state area and even Canada. This show will feature thousands of records, CDs, DVDs, videos, cassettes, books, posters, print-work, clothing, artwork, and other forms of music, movie and pop-culture memorabilia for sale by independent, local, and out-of-state vendors. Attendees will be able to find everything from rare independent releases to highly sought-after collectable titles. “This 2024 record show will be filled with variety, from rare musical finds to eclectic media memorabilia,” said WHFR General Manager Susan McGraw. “Many of our favorite vendors will return, and there will also be new ones. We invite you to come out and enjoy a day of shopping for others, yourself, or a little bit of both!” There will be hourly “Record Show Cash” giveaways (vouchers that can be used with any vendor at the show) at 10am, 11am, noon, 2pm & 3pm, and a grand prize $25 raffle at 3:30pm. "The WHFR Record Show only happens once a year, so don’t miss it!" said WHFR Multimedia Manager and Record Show Coordinator Michael Dereniewski. General admission to the show, which is actually a donation to the non-profit, volunteer-run college radio station, is sliding-scale based and grants attendees their choice of one of WHFR’s purged CDs or LPs for each dollar donated. As a non-commercial, volunteer-staffed station, WHFR-FM is not licensed to sell commercials and must rely heavily on support from HFC and from individual donations to operate. More than 60 percent of its operating budget comes from donor support. Since it began as a student radio club with a tiny room for public address operations in 1985, WHFR-FM has developed into an award-winning, live 24/7 broadcast and Internet outlet. On-air formats include blues, world, classical, avant jazz, indie rock, alternative/modern rock, techno, urban, big band, rockabilly, Americana, local news and views, classic radio drama, and more. All music shows highlight new releases, independent labels, and local artists. “The Record Show is one of the biggest ways WHFR makes money to operate,” said McGraw. “The other one is our Radiothon, which will occur in the spring. We need and value our community’s help to keep WHFR going strong for you.” The WHFR Record Show is open to the public.
