WQLN NPR first signed on the air in 1973. On December 5th of that year, an editorial published by the Erie Times-News - “The Energy Crisis and Bicke Routes,” called on Erie County and City planners to join other Pennsylvania cities by developing a safe bike route network.
This Day in History is presented by WQLN’s Emmy-nominated weekly history series Chronicles. Available on WQLN PBS and on our TV app - Passport.
