For you non-radio types, a fun fact: We are required by the FCC to identify ourselves, broadcasting our station call letters and frequency on the air. The folks over at Atlantic Public Media have inspired more creative ways of doing that, and we agree! Let's re-invent the Sonic ID!
WWNO Staff and Contributors got started on a few new ones last year. You'll be hearing them on the air during our "silent pledge drive" this spring. Know a great voice or character or sound that you think would make a great Sonic ID? Send 'em our way! comments@wwno.org.

We've found the Sonic ID to be a wonderful place for "orphan tape" — those funny, charming or poignant moments that happen when we're out in the world or in the studio, talking and listening with perked up radio ears.
