WIYY "98 Rock"
In the spring of 1988, at Baltimore radio station "98 Rock" WIYY-FM, as a lead morning show personality between 1987 and 1989, Bob Rivers gained national attention for an 11-day, on-the-air marathon during a Baltimore Orioles losing streak. He vowed to remain on the air until the Orioles won a game. He kept his vow and became a local celebrity among Orioles fans for his pledge.
During his time at 98 Rock, he and WIYY radio collaborated with Sheffield Recording Studios to continue his campaign of 'Twisted Tunes.'

Famous quotes containing the word rock:
“When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And bless’d the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
