… Continuous Music (Continuous Music) …
[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by Mike Miles]
Not much here, unless you like the music. Linda Kelly has two talk sets for a total of 40 seconds in this entire 46-minute recording of The NEW WPGC NINETY FIVE in Washington, D.C., most likely from June or July in the Summer of ’87. Some guy named Al (?) gets one set opening this exhibit. There’s a single stopset (at about the 30-minute mark) SIX units and SIX minutes and ten seconds (including a station promo), clearly demonstrating the programming philosophy that has continued to redefine “music radio” simply as “music.” The “formatics” of this (the iPod format) haven’t changed since 1987.
A 16-year old then is 38 in 2008, and part of the Big Money Demo. They’ve been trained to believe there are two kinds of radio – talk, or music. Truly, the Radio Disc Jockey was already history in 1987.
