We'll get the awards stuff out of the way first. Here they are. |

The WMUL staff in St. Louis: Deven Swartz, Melanie Chapman and Whitney Thomas |
|
The staff stops in front of the arch on their way to the celebratory dinner at Mike Shannon's. |
|
The staff pose at dinner, but this isn't like any other dinner any of them had experienced. |
|
Beside the table was the logo of the 2006 World Series, which featured the Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Cardinals. |
|
The staff didn't have tickets to Game 5 of the World Series, but they still had a front-and-center view of the game from Mike Shannon's. |
|
Thomas, Chapman and Swartz stand across the street from the stadium. |
|
This was the scene just moments before the Cardinals won the World Series. |
|
The next day, St. Louis was in quite the celebratory mood. Live music played behind the fountain spewing red water. |
|
Swartz, Thomas and Chapman stood in front of this official-looking Cardinals semi. |
|
Can you spot Deven, Whitney and Melanie? If not, then you need your eyes checked. |
|
A stunningly beautiful view of the red-colored fountain and downtown St. Louis. |
|
As broadcasting people, the staff just had to get their photo taken beside this inflatable camera from a local station. |
|

|
This really tram is how people get to the top of the arch. It's very small, and four people somehow fit into this thing. |
|
This is the greeting once the tram ride ends. |
|
The view directly below the arch |
|
Downtown viewed from the arch...the Adam's Mark Hotel, the host of CBI, is the brown building at the bottom right. |

The staff also went to the Anheuser Busch plant. |
|
The first thing a person sees when walking in the Anheuser Busch visitor's center is their wide array of products. |
|

|
Inside the stable...you can also see the dalmatians lying in the hay. |
|
There is a chandelier that sits above the carriage inside the stable. |

|
Melanie choosing something at the Adam's Mark brunch buffet |
|
This buffet was so extraordinary that even the decorations were top-notch. The spider is on this chocloate cake because the trip had taken place on Halloween weekend. |
|
The view of the arch from Dr. Bailey's room |
|
And the sun sets on a great trip to the gateway to the West. |
|
Terry starts his trek looking rather...well...human. WMUL's 88 Hours was intended to promote the new fall schedule and also get Terry pumped up to attempt to break the real DJ marathon record. |
|
At hour 22, Terry is still hanging on and looking a little tired. |
|
At hour 44, Terry has a few circles under the eyes |
|
At hour 66, the eyeglasses are needed to hide some of the circles. |
|
And at hour 88, Terry finishes his promotion with lot of circles under the eyes. He would do a couple of interviews and then promptly crash on Marshall's band bus to WVU. |
|
This is a photo of Terry standing up in Studio A. |
|
Terry was interviewed by WSAZ's Dave Benton. |
