In 1965 Dave Mullen, the UW student representative, signed Wyoming Public Radio's first license. Standing next to the 1965 photo of the signers is Dave Mullen still listening to Wyoming Public Radio in 2012. The license was issued in 1966.

For decades, the song of a Meadowlark, Wyoming's State Bird, launched each Wyoming Public Radio broadcast day.
