This special holiday recording, “The First Christmas,” was conceived, created and was narrated and produced by Bob Pratt.
For three straight years, this program initially was broadcast on 98.7 WBFG-FM in Detroit during the holiday seasons in 1975, 1976 and in 1977.
At the time ‘The First Christmas’ aired in 1975, WBFG was Detroit’s only premiere station known for it’s all-religious broadcasting format. The call letters WBFG was also the station’s heralded “acronym” as well. The calls represented their out-going religious radio content heard daily 24/7 on the FM side, “We’re Broadcasting For God.”
A special THANK YOU to Bob Pratt for sharing this special holiday program with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
