UPCOMING SEGMENTED PROGRAMMING

Here is what is in development at Retro AOR The Retro Attic Of Rock:

1. Eventually, 12 hours of my daily programmming will be divided into the following segments:

A. 4 hours of 70's, 80's and 90's melodic rock/AOR and hairbands - the major label artists, but primarily deep cuts.
B. 2 hours of 80's and 90's traditional metal, covering NWOBHM, speed/thrash, progressive and melodic.
C. 2 hours of classic rock - Led Zep, Boston, Foreigner, etc. as well as the bigger hairbands' most well-known hits.
D. 2 hours of 80's/90's indie AOR - Your local bands that played the clubs and put out CDs or cassettes, but never made it past that stage. Some of those CDs command insane prices now!
E. 1 hour of 90's alternative rock - Say what you want about that decade and scene, but I have a bigger respect for it 20-25 years later than when I initially complained that it was killing the music that I grew up with!
F. 1 hour of "New Retro Sounds" - Rock bands that are carrying on the flame of yesteryear, whether they're the legendary bands themselves or new bands influenced by the legends. You won't hear anything older than 1 year ago in this segment.

I'm looking to have this segmented programming air everyday from 8 AM to 8 PM eastern. The other 12 hours of the day will be a big melting pot of all of these various sounds.

2. Two weekends a month, I will be counting down an album rock tracks chart from yesteryear. This will be of particular interest to 80's rock lovers. I'm thinking it could air on Friday night(9 PM, perhaps) and be repeated on Sunday night.

I do this on my oldies station, so why not a rock station too...how about a Featured Artist Of The Month? Once an hour, every hour...you would hear either a classic cut or a deep cut from this artist. I'm taking suggestions now, so name me your favorite hairband and/or classic rocker that you feel deserves this status!

I also have a live chat/live request bubble in the top right corner of my webpage. Click on it, fill out a quick form telling me who you are, and voila, you will be in touch with me in a moment! You always used to wonder if radio stations actually received your requests or even cared about them...well, Retro AOR does, and I can't think of a more convenient way to get your request in!
