Every Tuesday night at 8pm (AZ time) join Liz Boyle on RFP for 80’s Kickback – an entire hour of New Wave music from the 80’s – The kind of songs that were guaranteed regular airplay on early MTV and caused radio programmers to start watching MTV to see what videos were being played. These stations, worried about losing their listeners to MTV, added a lot of this music to their playlists. causing so many new artists and bands to be exposed to the masses – It was a great time for music!
