INTRODUCTION
The 60s70s Show is heard every Friday evening from 6:00 PM to
10:00 PM, Eastern USA time, on Pop Gold Radio and The 60s70s+ Channel, and hosted by Bob Radil.
The 60s70s Show features any of the music from 1960 to 1979 with informal, yet informative,
commentary. The central focus is on the music listeners remember but the other
stations forgot. The music selection spans from chart toppers, mid-chart
records, low charters, to some rarities that never charted or were never even
released. Special promo 45 edits are common along with custom versions heard
only on The 60s70s Show. Some of the recordings are so rare that they simply
just don't exist! Many LP cuts are also available to be played. Add to that,
songs that were listed on the British charts, the USA R&B and country
charts, and the Australian charts. The show relies heavily on listener
interaction and requests via The Listener Lounge and our, Facebook page
Special shows have included:
· The Summer Specials,
aired on Fridays during June, going back 40 and 50 years and playing all the
music of those Summers.
Regular features will include:
· ''The Instant Request'' - Listeners are asked to make a request
live on the air via phone or Facebook. It is then located out of a selection of
over 100,000 cuts and played right then and there on the spot, hopefully!
· ''The Mystery Artist'' - Listeners are asked to identify the
performer of an obscure recording.
· ''The Mystery 'B' Side'' - Listeners are asked to identify what
was on the hit side of an obscure "B" side.
· ''The Hour 4 Theme'' - The last hour is devoted to a listener
chosen theme. It can be ANYTHING!
· ''The Beatles Rarity Of The Week'' – An unreleased rehearsal, alternate take, or mix of a well-known Beatles recording is featured.
· And… Our new feature, “The 60s70s Show Sing-a-Long Song of the Week”!
The 60s70s Show, on the air for over 30 years, had been hosted by Bob Radil from January 2007 until September 2010
when the show was cancelled by WNHU, University of New Haven. On October 8,
2010 The 60s70s Show returned to the same time slot, Fridays 6PM to 10PM
Eastern, as a feature of Rewound Radio, originating live from the 60s70s
Show studio facilities in the ''Beautiful, Rural, Connecticut Countryside''.
From these facilities the show had advanced far beyond what was possible at
WNHU. Then came the big move in May, 2017. It was then on to the new studios in
the ''Beautiful, Suburban, Central Connecticut''! Our relationship with Rewound
Radio was cancelled in September, 2019.
COVID happened. Another move happened. Other issues happened.
But now we’re here on Pop Gold Radio!
We’re ready!
Let’s GO!
The best is yet to come! Stay tuned!
