Hey everybody
Back in the early 80s, one of the L.A. radio stations (KMET or KLOS.. forget which) had a very early CD player, and they did a show called CD Saturday Night, partly because of the limited selection of CDs, and probably the high prices of both the players and the discs themselves. Us kids got a real kick out of that show.... quite often the DJ would start a song, and after a short time the music would break up, followed by a loud dit dit dit POP!! Hisssssssss.... then the DJ would come on and say "Okay, I'm glad we have an LP backup for that one!" Needless to say we weren't endeared to the new format.... it took a couple of years and a few classmates and neighbors getting Sony D5 CD Walkmans before CDs were more acceptable, and umm, more reliable players!
I wonder if other radio stations did a similar program back in the day?
