INTRODUCTION

  

The 60s70s Show is heard every Friday evening from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, sometimes until midnight or beyond,  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. We now frequently go beyond those time frame limits! 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 50 and 60 years and playing all the music of those Summers.

Regular features include:

 

· ''The Instant Request'' - Listeners are asked to make a request live on the air via the Listener Lounge or Facebook phone. 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 Fifth Hour Theme'' - The last hour is devoted to a listener chosen theme. It can be ANYTHING! Frequently we go beyond 5 hours!

· ''The Beatles Rarity Of The Week'' – An unreleased rehearsal, alternate take, or mix of a well-known Beatles recording is featured.

·  And… “The 60s70s Show Sing-a-Long Song of the Week”! An actual instrumental track from a well-known hit is played. It's the listener's option as to sing along or not.

 

 

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!

In addition to being heard via the resources of Pop Gold Radio we're also heard on the robust stream of the 60s70s+ Channel, where our streaming capacity is well beyond what we'll ever need to accommodate our audience.

We now have an interactive message board called "The Listener Lounge", where in addition to simply posting messages, the title & artist of the song currently being played is displayed at the top of the page and an image of that record is shown, when available. 

The best is still yet to come! Stay tuned!
