Do not fill this in! ==WHER== Phillips launched radio station [[WHER (defunct)|WHER]] on October 29, 1955. Each of the young women who auditioned for the station assumed there would only be one female announcer position, as was the case with other stations at that time. Only a few days before the first broadcast did they learn of the all-female format. It was the first all-female radio station in the United States, as almost every position at the station was held by a woman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/programs/lnfsound/stories/991029.stories.html |title=Lost and Found Sound: The Stories |publisher=NPR |access-date=September 8, 2015}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
