WPRK 91.5 FM celebrates 64 years on air with its upcoming Birthday Bash
WPRK 91.5 FM is hosting a fundraising event in honor of its 64-year anniversary as a
nonprofit radio station. WPRK’s 64th Birthday Bash will feature a raffle with prizes
donated from local businesses around Orlando, as well as live music and DJs to keep the
fun going all night. The live bands performing are The Dealers, BLONK, Uke-A-Ladies
and Bubble Boys. WPRK DJ’s will be hosting the event with live mixing.
WPRK’s 64th Birthday Bash is being held at Will’s Pub on December 8, 2016. Doors
open at 8pm and the bands will kick off at 9pm. Admission is free with donations
accepted at the door. Those who donate at the door will receive a raffle ticket to use

WPRK began broadcasting on December 8th 1952 with a dedication address from the
then President-Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower. The radio station is not only a large part of
the Rollins College community, but it also a large part of the greater Orlando community
as well. WPRK has formed a haven where artists and music lovers can gather and enjoy a
unique sound. Money raised from the event will be put toward keeping WPRK running
