Way back in 1980 there emerged in the ether surrounding Buffalo, NY a truly great FM radio station called the Wizard (WZIR). They launched their free-form programming with 24 hours of repeated plays of the song heard in the video below. If there was a model for what I try to do on my own radio show (albeit for just two hours a week), it was Wizard, though by 1980 free form was a dying breed (the station lasted with that format for just a little over a year as I recall). Anybody out there remember that great station, or WUWU, which came a little later with several of the same folks involved and a similar philosophy (and which met a similar fate)?
