WPLM weekend changes

E

Guest
Program Director Kevin Cronin is shuffling his weekend programming on WPLM-FM for the New Year to add Foundcuts on Demand with Dave Newfell to Saturday evenings, while moving Ron Della Chiesa’s Strictly Sinatra to Sunday night. “Ron’s been with Today’s Easy from the beginning and has one of the most popular weekend music shows in Boston Radio”, stated Cronin. His five-hour weekly tribute to the “Chairman of the Board” will now be heard on a night when more people are available to listen longer. Strictly Sinatra Sunday will be followed immediately at midnight by Music America, Ron’s selections from The Great American Songbook.

At the same time, Foundcuts on Demand will launch on Saturday evenings from 7PM to 12M with veteran area broadcaster Dave Newfell. The show, spotlighting rediscovered hit songs from the 70’s and 80’s, was most recently aired on the former WMKK 93.7 Mike FM. Dave will be in the WPLM-FM studios live every Saturday night taking retro requests.

Specialty shows with Dave Newfell and Ron Della Chiesa with twin spins by all your favorite artists all weekend long continue to make weekends special on Today’s Easy 99.1.

1. This is obviously an attempt to compete with Barry Scott's Lost 45's. And it's a stupid title to boot. Foundcut? Has anyone ever referred to a lost song as a "foundcut?"

2. Ron has a fairly large and extremely loyal following. Moving Ron out of his Saturday time slot is a huge mistake.
 
Stumbled across the Found Cuts "On Demand" (slightly revised title?) show on WPLM-FM the other
night. This show wound up on Mike 93.7 around May of 2011 but a few months later they switched
to WEEI-FM. Apparently it's self syndicated on about 14 stations...I'm digging up this old thread
from 2012 about it winding up on WPLM. Found Cuts...as opposed to Lost 45s? :)

Hi Everyone- Always nice to see a thread that talks about my show(s)! Foundcuts On Demand is the live, request driven show on Today's easy 99.1 Saturday nights since 1/7/12 It is an 80s and 70s show (in that order) Due to the requests in many cases, not every tune is "found" but all requests are welcome and I encourage you to call and listen. My self-syndicated version of Foundcuts is pretty much all 80s with a few late 70s and 90s tunes. It is on nearly 20 stations at this time and doing well. The only New England stations that have it are WBLQ in Westerly, R I (Saturday afternoons 4-7 and stream) and WWOD-FM Kool 93.9/96.3 in Lebanon NH (Sunday nights) If you need more info on who streams it, contact me at [email protected] or call me any Saturday night! Look for our new website in the weeks to come (foundcuts.com)

Thanks!
Dave Newfell

Where's Steven Horatio Coleman when you need him?! I could do a better job as a night jock than Delilah! I can't stand her or John Tesh's "intelligence for Your Life" show.
