"Retro Radio," the first nationwide radio broadcast devoted solely to music from the 80's, was launched on Saturday nights in 1997. The show was created and hosted by Thom "Booray" Daniels until 2000. As of 2013, the website, todaysbesthits.com now takes you to cumulus.com. The format was dissolved as Cumulus Media Networks merged with Westwood One, as there's already a "Hot AC" satellite provided by the network.

gollark: I don't like arbitrary rules which seem as if they are clamping down on things for no reason, especially ones which will apparently be enforced through magic, and claiming something is for the benefit of all users doesn't make it the case.
gollark: What is the actual *problem* behind "trying to stop firms just pinging when one of the members post"?
gollark: It definitely won't help people who aren't here, for one thing.
