Tuned in to WDOG at approximately 9:30 PM EDT after the broadcast had already begun and monitored it until sign off at approximately 11:45 PM. The program featured a variety of music from 1954 and 1964, along with satirical news reports, comedy segments, commentary, and station identifications. Songs heard included “Mighty Mighty Man” by Roy Brown, “I Need You Now” by Eddie Fisher, “I Got a Woman” by Ray Charles, “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and His Comets, “Kansas City” by Wilbert Harrison, “Bad to Me” by The Beatles, “Do You Love Me” by The Contours, “How Do You Do It?” by Gerry and the Pacemakers, “High Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker, “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks, and “Dang Me” by Roger Miller. The first portion of the broadcast focused on 1954. After saying, “I don’t know about you, but I learned a lot about 1954,” the host transitioned into music and commentary from 1964. The program also included absurd satirical news stories involving subjects such as monkeys attacking people, OpenAI and nuclear power, Joseph McCarthy, high speed portals, and other deliberately ridiculous reports. The host identified himself as Professor T. E. Magnatron and used the catchphrase, “Broadcasting to no one in particular except YOU!” The signal sometimes reached nearly local broadcast quality, but at other times suffered from deep fading that made the audio difficult to understand. A CW identification was also heard over part of the program. 73, Professor!
