93.3 WMMR-FM, Philadelphia. Established: April 29, 1968
It’s our birthday and we’re throwing a rager! The party kicks off this weekend and continues for as long as we want (CAUSE IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!).
All day Saturday and Sunday, we’re handing over the music setlist to you. Listen for blocks of your all time favorite MMaRists. Then, call in to request the final song. If you don’t already have our contact saved in your phone, do it now. 215-263-WMMR (215-263-9667)
No cake or ice cream, just lots of blocks that rock!
Throw in a lil’ birthday message for the station if you like when you talk to MMR’s Weekend Warrior DJs. We love to hear your stories about the radio station. Long time listeners, new listeners, listeners from a far, you are all part of our MMR Family! In fact, we wouldn’t be turning 29 for the 28th time with you!
The party doesn’t stop after the ‘MMR Fill In The Birthday Block Party Weekend.

Right around 10:30(ish)am, Monday, our actual birthday, Pierre Robert is opening up the MMaRchives doing what he does best. Our mid-day Rock God, will play live deep cuts that were recorded right here on the MMR airwaves, and only live deep cuts that were recorded right here on the MMR airwaves.
You can expect five – maybe six? – hours of live recordings from the MMaRchives. Have a favorite from over the years? Call in and request it! Pierre would love to hear from you. That number again: 215-263-9667.
It’s MMR’s ultimate birthday celebration! Another year older… and still acing like the juvenile delinquents that we really are.
