Plans are in the works for a return of the 60s70s Show in the not
too distant future.
Exact time and date to be determined.
Technical improvements have been done.
Server repairs and upgrades have happened.
Our internet service has also been greatly improved.
We now have 2 functioning broadcast streams, one for Windows

to be working perfectly. These streams have a nice feature we hope you’ll
like.
We also have a neat new website feature that we will unveil when a
show re-debut date is made public.
We may do some test broadcasts in the near future.
Stay tuned for more details as they happen.
We’ll be stocking up on coffee and air guitars!
Snoop is here. ''Supercat'' is here. We hope you will be here, too!
Yes... it's been WAY too long.

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 telephone, Facebook and … ? J
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.
· (plus something else, stay tuned…)
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. We’re here.
We’re ready!
The best is yet to come! Stay tuned!
