ANdrew 8-8000

[Bob Nelson]

WMWM used to be 745-9400 (business line: -9401) then someone got the
idea to make it 745-9170, as in our frequency of 91.7. Then a couple
years back the college wanted us to go with the 542 exchange they had
and we got 542-8500 (8501 for business). Was told
the 9000 block of numbers wasn't available. In some ways it would have
been neat to keep
the 9170, or 0917 or something
