mid. Movie "The Elephant Man"
2:00 sign-off

From June of 87 until around April 1990, actually WHAG stayed on the air until 4 maybe 5am on late Saturday night/early Sunday morning airing their all-night locally produced program "Club KMZ".

"KMZ" being nearby Martinsburg. WV's WKMZ-FM 97.5 ( the area's main top 40 music station at the time ) and the hosts were all WKMZ jocks ( Gary Michaels, Rob Mario, Matt Steele and Dan Turner ). Mostly "Club KMZ" aired music videos, talked about upcoming concerts, had guests ( DC area shock jock "The Greaseman" was one such guest ) and taped comedy. The latter was what got "Club KMZ" yanked off the air suddenly in April 1990 when the KMZ crew went to visit the grave of country singer Patsy Cline only to have some guy in drag dressed up as Patsy singing "..I go out..Stompin after Midnight....." as he was standing directly ON TOP of Patsy's grave. Then after the song..he says "..like for you to meet a special friend of mine....the REAL..Patsy Cline !!". Then the camera has a close-up of him holding a chicken bone. Ah..people were not happy !!!

But "Club KMZ" did inspire at least one sketch on Saturday Night Live..the mid 90's John Goodman from the show "Roseanne" did a comedy bit about "hairy gay bears and cubs" that was actually based on a skit that had aired on "Club KMZ" several years before with Rob Mario. SNL even admitted that. The fact that WHAG is an NBC affiliate (even if WHAG hadn't aired SNL at the time ) I am sure helped.

As I can recall "Club KMZ" took at least one weekend off a month so I assume that is why these listing show WHAG going off the air at 2am as usually the time from 2-5am was resvered for WKMZ. Unless of course TV Guide didn't want to bother listing them.
