“Backseat Memories,” hosted by Mike Saffran, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired Aug. 10, 1996. (Bonus Clip)Special note: This was my first night on the air since learning the tragic news, the day before, about the discovery of the body of kidnapped and murdered 4-year-old Kali Ann Poulton (who went missing more than two years earlier) and the arrest of a suspect (a former East Rochester neighbor, Mark Christie, of Kali and her mother, Judy Gifford).The story of Kali’s disappearance, in May 1994, was national news; and for months afterwards her face had been on posters plastered throughout western New York. For awhile in 1994, I closed each of my WKLX shows with the line, “Keep looking for Kali” (a practice I occasionally continued into 1995 and ’96 — notably on or near the one- and two-year anniversaries of her disappearance).Headed into my weekly request show on the night of Aug. 10, 1996, I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle the horrible news on the air. As DJs on music radio stations, one of our roles often is to give listeners an “escape” from the serious (and often depressing) everyday news. We create such an “oasis” by being generally upbeat and positive (most of the time). At the same time, however, other goals are to “keep it real,” strive to be relatable, and talk to listeners about many of the same things on their minds (in other words, you wouldn’t necessarily want to pretend as though something didn’t happen because doing so could come across as simply being out of touch with reality). Plus, as mentioned, I used to close out many of my shows, ’94–’96, with the tagline, “Keep looking for Kali” (as the story of her disappearance was a big, local media story, for sure — it’s what many people in Rochester, and beyond, were talking about at the time).On top of all that, the “Backseat Memories” portion of my weekly show oftentimes was more relaxed, so to speak, compared with earlier segments (heck, we even played sound-effects of crickets in the background!). So … just how should I handle this tragic news was a question on my mind going in.Hosting a five-hour request show (including “’70s at 7,” “Jukebox Saturday Night” and “Backseat Memories”) was fun and rewarding … but also intense, at times. I can recall oftentimes feeling “spent” (but in a good way — kind of like a “runner’s high”) immediately afterwards. (Note: Not only did I truly play requests on this show, but there was literally *no* prescheduled music 10 p.m.–midnight — “two blank pages,” as I periodically honestly told listeners — which was almost unheard of in radio, even back in 1996.)Thirty years later, I can still recall feeling “spent” after this particular show … but with a real sense of satisfaction with how we — my listeners and I — dealt with the horrific news of Kali’s murder. Ultimately, it was some of the station’s great listeners who helped with the decision about how to handle the news somberly, respectfully … and realistically that night on the radio. And this is how it sounded….All content (radio aircheck, audio podcast – all components, and show notes): © Michael J. Saffran

“’70s at 7,” hosted by Mike Saffran, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired July 27, 1996. (Bonus Clip)Special note: It was an especially fun “’70s at 7 Trivia Challenge” call-in contest the time I asked listeners which Rochester professional sports franchise Royle Stillman had played for in the 1970s: the Amerks (hockey), Lancers (soccer), Red Wings (baseball) or Zeniths (basketball); and I took a few callers before getting a winner. (Answer: Royle Stillman — who had the nickname “Sugarbat” — played for the Red Wings [1973–1976]; he was inducted into the Red Wings Hall of Fame in 2014.]Aside: Before recently coming across this clip (which is part of this week’s earlier full podcast episode), I had remembered this specific contest and looked forward to eventually finding it on a full aircheck. Before hearing it again for the first time in around 30 years, however, my recollection had been that I received three callers with incorrect answers (“Amerks,” “Lancers” and “Zeniths”) before finally getting one with the right response. Thus, either I had a false memory, or I didn’t actually play back each of the wrong answers (possibly due to editing time constraints). In any case, I believe it was one of the overall more entertaining on-air contests — particularly given the two callers aired with incorrect responses (which, I think, added to the fun! :-)All content (radio aircheck, audio podcast – all components, and show notes): © Michael J.

“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.

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.
