“Top 500 Oldies of All Time,” hosted by Mike Saffran, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired May 25–27, 1996.Special note: Combining two shows into single podcast episode due to countdown that preempted “Jukebox Saturday Night” (though not request shows, each includes listener call-ins).I cannot recall if the preemption bothered me (probably) or, at least, baffled me—particularly given that other regular programming (e.g. syndicated shows) wasn’t canceled and the countdown stopped at midnight. If I had my way, “The Jukebox” would’ve aired as usual—especially given evidently poor planning regarding the countdown’s end (close to but not yet at the top on separate occasions). In hindsight, I probably should’ve, Saturday night, aired the top four—even if doing so would’ve gone past midnight (as I did two nights later, seemingly with the PD’s approval). Why wasn’t the number-one song announced? I’d guess there might’ve been pre-recorded fanfare and song introduction. By Memorial Day, I can kind of hear it in my voice that I was a little tired of the countdown; the best part of this episode the full version of the WKLX “Fun, Fun, Fun in Rochester!” jingle!Callers aired and other show highlights:00:12 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle (start of May 25 segment)02:00 RIT and University of Rochester commencement ceremonies and Highland Park lilacs references02:15 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle03:04 Unidentified male—first of few tongue-in-cheek suggestions of broken jukebox (including “coin-into-slot” and “technical difficulties” SFX)05:35 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle06:12 Liz/Webster asking about song 07:16 Full WKLX “Fun, Fun, Fun in Rochester!” jingle07:36 Unidentified male09:29 Unidentified caller asking about song10:45 Tricia/Henrietta11:35 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle11:54 Unidentified female asking about “Backseat Memories”12: 34 Unidentified caller asking about countdown13:52 Carolyn/Henrietta asking about song14:44 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle15:11 Unidentified caller asking about Rochester Americans-Syracuse Crunch game (Amerks won, 6-5, to advance to the Calder Cup finals)16:08: Unidentified female asking about song18:08 Unidentified male asking about countdown18:47 “Mike Saffran” customized name-shout jingle (including snippet of Jr. Walker & The All Stars – “Shotgun”)19:11 Unidentified caller asking about song20:36 Unidentified caller asking about song21:50 “Keep looking for Kali” (Note: For a while, particularly in spring/summer 1994, I closed many shows with this reminder — a reference to then-missing East Rochester toddler Kali Ann Poulton, who, it was later learned, had been kidnapped and murdered. I mentioned her again this night undoubtedly because it was near the two-year anniversary of her disappearance.

Originally aired 7 p.m.–Midnight Feb. 10, 1996.Callers aired and other show highlights:00:23 “Back home again!”—Subtle reference to having just finished up a few days filling in for Metro Traffic, where I did morning/afternoon traffic reports on multiple other stations (one of them often not WKLX—depending upon who I was subbing for)00:32 Unidentified female (“Telephone Man”)01:02 Ed/Wellsville (“City Of New Orleans”)01:31 Unidentified female (“I Will Survive”)02:20 “The ’70s at 7” (partial imaging)02:35 Unidentified male (“Bluer Than Blue”)03:05 “’70s at 7 Promo Flashback”—“Playing the songs that were great back when this station was WHFM–‘FM99!’” (including reference to “my buddy ‘Wags!’”—WBEE-FM DJ Dave Beck, who some called “Wags” because of his prior radio name: “Gary Wagner”; once again, I could kick myself for not letting the aircheck tape roll!)04:00 Patty/Brockport (“If I Can’t Have You”)05:17 Karen/Honeoye Falls (“I Love The Nightlife”)05:59 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle — followed by snippet of Foreigner–“Juke Box Hero” (Note: This likely was the first time I used this song hook as show imaging—even though, as an ’80s song, it’s not part of the music era normally played on “The Jukebox”; because Foreigner’s Lou Gramm is from Rochester, I found it appropriate); and “Mike Saffran” customized name-shout jingle (including snippet of Donovan–“Mellow Yellow”)06:37 Unidentified male (“Beep Beep”)07:59 Renee/Attica (“Puff The Magic Dragon”)08:49 Unidentified male (“In The Year 2525”)09:59 “WKLX, Rochester” legal ID jingle10:22 Unidentified female (“Cecilia”)11:20 Rick/Rochester (“Return To Sender”)11:52 Shelly (“Born To Be Wild”—dedication to Stephen)13:11 Kim/Henrietta (“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”)—including reference to “Mr. Holland’s Opus” (1995 movie)13:55 “You were here before I was!”—I suspect a reference to letting the “crickets” background SFX play a bit while cueing up the next phone call and/or loading the requested song (using “crickets” as a fallback was better than having dead air! ;-)14:06 Karen/Clarence (“Never My Love”—dedication to Mark)14:51 Rick/Rochester (“Can’t Help Falling In Love”—dedication to wife, Jane)15:17 Nicole/LeRoy (“My Special Angel”)16:29 John/Irondequoit (“Whatever Happened To Old-Fashioned Love”—dedication to wife, Laurie)17:06 Beth/Fairport (“Honey”)17:49 John (“Unchained Melody”—dedication from Julie)19:10 Deb (with Ro)/Corfu (“Precious And Few”—dedication to Larry and Roger)20:04 Tara/Byron (“Sweet Pea”—dedication to cousin Heather)20:28 Josh (“The Pied Piper”—dedication to Anna)20:41 Kim/Henrietta (“Real Love”—dedication to Brian)21:33 “Dim the lights, find a good parking space …” (partial “Backseat Memories” imaging)21:42 David/Rochester (“Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie”—dedication to Melinda)22:03 Reference to listening, as a kid, to Rochester Top-40 stations WBBF and WAXC—and sometimes waiting forever for requests that never aired (“Feels pretty good, doesn’t it? Getting your request played on the radio…. I’ve always been sincere about trying my best to get on the songs that you ask for”); including indirect mention to my first Rochester radio job (98PXY): “We didn’t play many requests at 98, and they still don’t … but I always would if I could … because I know it feels good!”22:50 Eva/Irondequoit (“Earth Angel [Will You Be Mine]”—dedication to Greg)23:16 Jessica (with Autumn)/York (“Come A Little Bit Closer”—dedication to Mike and Matt)23:50 Joe (“Blueberry Hill”—dedication to Katrina)24:19 Cassette tape ran out :-(24:25 Erin/Webster (“Let Your Love Flow”)24:50 Katrina (with Amanda) (“Lean On Me”—dedication to Jessica and Tony)25:49 Charles/Bloomfield (“Green Tambourine”—dedication to wife, Stacy)26:49 Mary/Rochester (“Teddy Bear”—dedication to Aaron)All content (radio aircheck, audio podcast – all components, and show notes): © Michael J.

“Beatles By Request,” hosted by Tom Noonan, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired Feb. 4, 1996 (Bonus Clip).Special note: Remembering that time when Tom Noonan called me, at home on a Sunday night, for a Beatles song request for his show, “Beatles By Request” — after, the night before on “Backseat Memories,” I made show history with a first-ever ‘reverse request’ to an unsuspecting girl who, unbeknownst to me when I called her, was taking a bath!I had totally forgotten about Tom’s on-air bit until stumbling across the segment, on a cassette tape, while dubbing regular “Jukebox” audio for this podcast. To the best of my recollection: The bit was not set up (in other words, I was not expecting his call); rather, my good friend Tom had genuinely caught me by surprise. The only reason I have the audio, I suspect, is I likely rolled tape on my home cassette deck (thus, capturing the audio when he played it back on the air shortly after the actual phone call).All content (radio aircheck, audio podcast – all components, and show notes): © Michael J.
