With the big 250th 4th of July coming this weekend is any radio station going to synch music to fireworks? It's been done in the past but the only times I heard of it being done was pre HD. PBS has the band playing the overture 1812 and the cannons are synced up but that's only one song.

With the history of Philadelphia, one would think the 4th of July would be really be a really big celebration. Get a cheese steak sandwich and a lawn chair and I would be set to watch some serious fireworks 🎆
It’s huge. There is a 2 week festival (Wawa Welcome America) leading up to the 4th with a free concert in front of the Art Museum on the 4th followed by fireworks. Our local NBC station (owned and operated by NBC) preempts network programming to show the concert and fireworks on tv. It’s just no radio station plays the soundtrack to the fireworks on the 4th.
