WQLN NPR first signed on the air in 1973. On May 4th of that year, in what was described “as the hottest debate seen in years,” Erie School Board Directors Dr. John Rewers and Tessie Blanchard battled over the need for a public relation director for the Erie School District.

This Day in History is presented by Chronicles, which is available online at WQLN.org and on PBS Passport.
