WFNU: Evolation Show

 

1st Anniversary for MrZerr0 on Radio WFNU

Dr. Rox Remember When? (Article #104: Oct-2019)

 

So it’s the 11th Halloween at Mr. Zero’s 55113, but it is also the 1st Anniversary of MrZerr0 on Frogtown Radio WFNU 94.1 FM and Streaming and at MixCloud.Com.

 

So it all started back in Summer 1992 in Des Moines, Iowa. I wanted to do a 1 hour radio show on the pop duo “Boyce & Hart”. So I went down to radio KIOA and talked to local legend Dic Youngs, about putting this show together. He informed me without a producer to front the bill to the FCC, this could Not happen. You see back in Feburary 1960 Alan Freed and Dick Clark were investigated and indicted for “Payola” practices; taking money to play certain records (songs) on the radio a certain amount of times per day. So the Government & FCC set up a rule- law back in 1962 that still holds up today. “A Radio Station may not play more than 3 songs by one artist in a 2 hour period, without certain permission”

 

One day while working at Mr. Zero’s (55113) my friend Tommy said “You know there has got to be a way around that FCC rule, and if theres a way, you are the guy to figure it out” One night in March 2018 I couldn’t sleep due to a disagreement with my then GF, and I thought and thought and I came up with this format, that still follows the FCC rule.

 

*60 minute Program;

1. opening theme
2. an Album Track from the Early Years of the Band 
3. a Song from a Band one of the Members came from
4. a Solo song from the guitarist
5. a Solo song from the Drummer
6. a Cover song of this particular band
7. an Album Track from the Mid Years of the Band
8. a Solo song from the Bass Player
9. a Solo Song from the Singer in the Band
10. a Solo song from the Keyboard Player in the Band
11. a Song that inspired this particular Band
12. an Album Track from the Later Years of this Band
13. closing theme

 

Bear in mind this the Loose formula as not every band has all of these elements. This breaks down to roughly; 45 minutes of music with about 10 minutes of dialog. Next, I needed a name. I used 2 words to create the title of my show. “Evolution” and “Revelation” to make the title “MrZer0s Evolation Show” it is the Evolution of a band once you hear who they were you may have a Revelation.
