Rev-105 and 97x were intensely important to my love for and thinking about radio, and both are gone (and have been for years).  Both stations managed to be both commercial and interesting, programmed and eclectic.  There are some great stations still around, including of course our home for years 93.9 The River, plus The Current in Minneapolis and KEXP in Seattle.

But I — perhaps avoiding some real work — thought I’d create a little bit of imaging for the show based on the long-gone liners and promos from Rev and WOXY.  Thanks to some former staffers for providing the 97x files, and to whoever owns Rev105.com for the Rev-105 sounds:

(Sorry for the Flash player — you can also get the MP3s here: Rev-105 Liner; 97x Liner)

We really enjoyed having The Doubleclicks come by the studio and we’ll air the chat and songs this weekend.  For now, you can check out the video of the title track from their kids’ record, Worst Superpower Ever:
