WQLN NPR first signed on the air in 1973, and on April 15th of that year – Erie’s Lou Bizzarro’s victory over Tony Berrios was his 15th straight win. Bizzarro would go on to win 30 more fights before he fought Roberto Duran at the Erie County Field House in 1976.
This Day in History is presented by Chronicles, showing Pitt Hole City Part 2 next Thursday night on WQLN PBS.
