I’ve been allowed to post about our online station here in the past, so I
thought I’d let everybody know we are doing all 70s/early 80s today for
April Fool’s. I can’t promise everything is the correct 45 edit but there
are some rarities, like the short DJ edit of Sugarloaf’s “Green Eyed
Lady” off the 45, plus a bunch of mono mix DJ 45s, all in about as
authentic AM sound as we can make it without a transmitter. Tune in!

Ha! Tuned in just to hear Edgar Winter's Frankenstein right up front. Perfect!

I love it! If you made this a full-time sister station to the original WIWS, I swear
I'd never leave :)

We're still figuring out the road ahead with WIWS, but have definitely entertained the idea of doing a second station along these lines - really today was a way to judge reaction and interest, which has been positive.

If anybody wants to hear a rare 70s/early 80s cut in AM sound and we have it I'll be happy to play it, just post here and I'll put it in the queue!
