– The Non-Music Elements only. Same high quality stereo without all that music you’ve heard before.
Oh My. In light of the controversy over Janet Jackson and the 2004 Superbowl, this unscoped aircheck of Leslie Stovall on KMEL in the Electric 80’s is somewhat confusing. You’ll hear Ms. Jackson claim that Nasty, Nasty Boys – don’t mean a thing. But then again, there’s no Justin Timberlake malfunction here.
Those who make a nice living programming an “80’s Format” should get all tingly over this one. It’s mostly music, and that’s why we have provided a scoped version of this aircheck, just for you. By 1986, radio stations were becoming jukeboxes, like just most popular music stations of today. In 1986, there were more commercial sets, but they were shorter. By the way, playing two tunes back to back without any ID (creative, entertaining, or otherwise) is just plain boring. At least this station had some nice jingles.
