No Eighties Friday. Why? Read.

Folks,

Admittedly, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eighties Friday</span> has represented a bit of an indulgence in living in the past - and frankly, if Altrok Radio stays in the past too long, its grip on the present may loosen.

For that reason, we'll be putting Eighties Friday <span style="font-weight: bold;">on hiatus</span> for a while. It has gone from being the highest-rated day at Altrok Radio to the lowest - and if our audience is moving on, maybe we should, too.

That said, you should know that <span style="font-weight: bold;">our commitment to classic tracks continues unabated</span>. Those tracks are, rightfully, the cornerstone of everything we do, and we're doing a lot right now to expand our library even more to encompass the good stuff that came out back then.

So if you're unhappy about losing the solid block of Eighties, let us know - we'll try to find some way to accommodate you...and if you tuned out Fridays because there wasn't anything new, tune in again, because there is.

And remember...

-- check out our <span style="font-weight: bold;">two-hour FM Showcase</span> airing at <span style="font-weight: bold;">10pm Eastern tonight</span> at <a href="http://www.90.5thenight.org/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">90.5 The Night</span></a>; we've got new tracks from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bloc Party</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Black Ghosts</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wire</span>, and classics too!

-- head to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Corner Tavern in New Brunswick </span>(the corner in question is that of<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Easton & Somerset</span>)<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Saturday night </span>for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">NextUnderground</span> soiree; no cover, a rather fine dance floor (as long as you use it, otherwise the pool players start moving the pool tables back out) and a great selection of new and true alternative, and classics too...

-- finally, remember that <span style="font-weight: bold;">the only way I know you're out there is if you tune in</span>. If you're not there, I figure I'm doing something wrong, and I start changing things...

Thanks, as always, for listening.

That's ok Sean, as long as you keep running. [:)]

I tuned in today around noon (like every Friday), expecting to get my usual 80's fix. It still said "80's Friday" on the player window. But then I heard bands like The Rakes and Sons & Daughters and said to myself "those bands have been around since the 80's!? [:0]". Then I realized, eighties friday has gone away. [V]

Hopefully it'll be back up soon as you know how much we all loved it. But don't worry Sean, we're with you all the way. Do whatever it takes to keep your station going. Keep up the good work and all the best for the future. [;)]
