89th Anniversary of the Wausau Lutheran Hour

On January 31, 1937 Wausau’s first radio station, WSAU went on the air. Two months later on Easter
Sunday, March 28, Zion broadcast its first service from the old church at 5th & Scott Streets. Through the efforts of Zion’s Pastor Paul Roehrs & WSAU’s Chief Engineer & Zion member, Roland Richardt, the Wausau Lutheran Hour began. Many members of Zion wondered how they would raise $15.00 for each broadcast—at the time, a lot of money!

The broadcast has flourished over the years through the support of members of Zion and others from the Wausau area, and, via the Internet, the world may now listen to the broadcasts.

Thanks be to God!

Listen to our Sunday 9:00 am Worship Service by tuning into WSAU 550 AM, 99.9 FM and 95.1 FM.  You can also listen live on WSAU and clicking on Listen Live.
