Re: Blues on The Radio

[Dib9@aol.com]

WCLZ-FM Brunswick, Maine includes some blues in their AAA format.  They also
do an hour of blues every weekday at 5 and have done a Saturday night blues
show for several years.  (Which I hosted for a couple of years.)   They used
to do it live, but they now just run four hours of the House of Blues Radio
Hour back to back.  (They play the current week's show and repeat the shows
from the previous three weeks.)  The show is pretty good, but repeating each
week's show for four weeks is pretty lame.  But it saves money.  At one time,
the Sunday morning jazz show and the Saturday night blues show were the
highest rated time periods for the station.
