WQLN NPR first signed on the air in 1973. On August 30th of that year, Erie hired its fourth dog catcher of the year. The first three quit because of low pay, long hours, and dog bites.

This Day in History is presented by Chronicles, nominated for seven Emmy awards, and available online at WQLN.org and on the PBS app Passport.
