Today (August 20th) is National Radio Day. WMMR is grateful to everyone who's been a part of this radio station in Phiiiil-aaaa-delphia since 1968: DJs, staffers, the artists we play, and of course, our listener family.

We're taking a closer look at those four letters today: W. M. M. R. Everything that rocks. You've heard it many times, but what has it looked like over the years?

Find out by scrolling through the gallery below. You'll see the evolution from the Metromedia days of the late '60s to a Barbie-pink moment in the '90s, plus our classic '80s lettering and our current look. (And if you like what you see, you can always grab the newest looks and retro merch in the MMR Rock Shop.)

You can listen to MMR anytime, anywhere - not just on National Radio Day, and no just on your old boombox! Use the free MMR App, ask your smart speaker to "Open MMR," or stream the rock right here on WMMR.com.
