95.7 memories

ksradiogeek · Nov 16, 2013

Does anyone have any airchecks of any given format from 95.7? Max? JG? Mix? Ben?

Also, got a couple history questions to ask. What were the first/final songs of JG? The first song on Mix and Ben?

Max ended in the middle of a song by Sheryl Crow.

Max 95.7 began with Crow's "A Change Will Do You Good" on September 5, 1997. It ended abruptly on May 13, 1999,
in the middle of Sarah McLachlan's "Building a Mystery."

Isn't it unprofessional to end in the middle of a song? Did they join another song in progress from the new format?

I was on my honeymoon in the USVI when this happened. Being a Barsky fan, I was disappointed that Max had gone away and Barsky was off which was only the beginning of him jumping from station to station.

That's right! I remember looking up what the last song was! And I gotta say, as a huge fan of that song and artist, it was probably a good song to end with.

What a brilliant move! I really thought the format would work in Philly regarding its history for soul and R&B.
