that thing with Rich Appel (Saturdays 1-4 pm) is the only classic hits radio show that brings back the sound – not just the songs!

If you loved the era of fast-paced top 40 radio – where DJs talked up to the vocals, the jingles stood out, and the now-classic commercials were almost as good as the hits – you’re sure to like that thing with Rich Appel.

that thing is a three-hour celebration of that radio every weekend, with features such as “The Slow Dance Make-Out Song of the Week,” “A Year in an Hour” and “The World’s Shortest Countdown.”

​that thing is, more than anything, about having FUN…and bringing the FUN back to radio every weekend.
