KLIF’s 60’s sound to be revived on XM

by PegNews wire

DALLAS — If you grew up in Dallas in the 1960s, you probably remember listening to the Beatles and the Supremes on KLIF Radio.

The 60s sound of KLIF will be reborn on Friday, June 8, on XM Satellite Radio, if only for the day.

XM has a 60’s radio channel that plays the popular hits from the decade. Every Friday, the channel pays tribute to a great radio station from the era on a show called “Sonic Sound Salutes.”

You can hear the radio station jingles from the 60’s, recordings of the DJs and announcers, and chatter about Dallas and Dallas-area high schools, restaurants, concerts, and hangouts. And of course, you can hear the classic songs that the station played during the fabulous 60’s.

XM will celebrate Dallas’s KLIF as one of the most successful and influential radio stations of the period on the 60’s channel from 4 pm to 9 pm ET.

The weekly tributes are hosted by XM disc jockey Terry “Motormouth” Young, whose research includes his own audio tapes, Web sites, and phone calls to local chambers of commerce to find people who grew up with that station.

“For five hours, we are going to turn our channel into KLIF from the 1960’s,” said Young. “You’ll hear the songs and the jingles and DJs you remember. This is one of our most popular shows. We get calls from people all over the country who have lived in that week’s city and remember that station. At XM, we’re passionate about good music and good radio, and this show pays tribute to both.”

The 60’s channel is one of 173 channels available on XM Satellite Radio, which is broadcast from coast to coast.
