To make the 100th milestone even more remarkable, VOWR - which predates Newfoundland's entry into Confederation - is still run only by volunteers. Somehow, in an industry that is slowly fading, it has not only stayed on the air all these years, but seems to be thriving. 

The station outlines its own past on its website and even offers up a 27-page(!) history of its existence stretching all the way back to July 20, 1914. 

CBC took a tour of the place and shows that it's one of the few radio stations left that still plays cuts off of vinyl and CDs, from a record library that's been collecting music for a century. You can see that video here.
