Remembering Rita Jacobs (6/12/1990)

December 13 is WFMT’s 66th anniversary.  In 1951, a young couple named Rita and Bernie Jacobs bought a small radio station where they could share the classical and arts programming they loved.  Studs Terkel joined them within the year and stayed for almost half a century.  When Rita died, in 1990, Studs presented this hour of her favorite music, and a glimpse into the sounds and spirit of WFMT’s early years.
