MoTab Choir marks 4,000th broadcast Sunday

Believe it or not, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been on the air since July 15, 1929.

On Sunday morning it will air its 4,000th broadcast. Music and the Spoken Word is the world’s longest-running continuous network radio broadcast.

Sunday’s broadcast will include a taped message from President George Bush.

President Hinckley will make some remarks as well.

And to help celebrate, Utah Governor Jon Huntsman today declared April 30, 2006 "Mormon Tabernacle Choir Day." I'll have to dust off my black velvet suit and bowtie in honor of the special day.

Read the story in today’s Deseret News.
