Celebrating a Broadcasting Milestone

dscn0538.JPG Bill Peters’ popular rock show “Metal on Metal” turned 25-years old at a packed celebration concert at the Beachland Ballroom September 15, 2007. Peters’ show first hit the WJCU airwaves back in 1982 and has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds since then.

dscn0543.JPG The man of the hour was honored with a look-alike face cake to remember this true broadcasting milestone. Peters’ family was by his side at the concert the entire evening.

The packed show featured metal bands including Raven, Anvil, The Exalted Piledriver, Destructor, Manimals, Soulless, and Lick the Blade. Tune in to “Metal on Metal” Fridays on WJCU 88.7FM, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Or listen online in our streaming section on wjcu.org.
