Radiothoning

Early in July, CFYT hosted a radiothon to raise funds for our community station.  I took on two extra time slots that week, and during my Midnight Snack show I got to play a song that I would never ever be able to air on a Sunday evening.  And then Thursday morning I let Matthew the Station Manager go home for a much needed nap, and played some disco and reggae to get people through their workday.

Midnight Snack (aired July 7th 12 to 1 am)
  1. The Temptations--Get Ready
  2. George Michael--I Want Your Sex
  3. Pointer Sisters--I'm So Excited
  4. Andy Kim--Rock Me Gently
  5. Tangerine Dream--[a selection from] Rubycon
  6. Falco--Rock Me Amadeus
  7. Wang Chung--Dance Hall Days
  8. Daryl Hall & John Oates--Maneater
  9. Donna Summer--Bad Girls
  10. Nick Gilder--Hot Child in the City

Thanks to Dan for requesting the Tangerine Dream, and Ben for requesting Rock Me Amadeus.  Impeccable taste, the both of you!  The late-night light outside the studio was fabulous:
