Brad Savage’ Cruisin’ the Decades 9-10 Sunday
Brad Savage was with 106.1 the Corner for many years here in Charlottesville. He is now with WAPS (TheSummit.FM) in Akron, Ohio as the Program Director. He recently started a new syndicated radio show called “Cruisin’ the Decades”. This show is pretty unique! it features on song from every decade for the last 100 years. Yep, that’s right! Brad has incredible music knowledge and a huge record collection to draw from and he has probably listened to every album that he has…twice!
We at 97.9 the WREN never want to turn anything cool, quirky or different down so when we learned about Brad’s new show, we had to put it on the air in Charlottesville. Tune in every Sunday morning from 9-10 AM for “Cruisin’ the Decades” with Brad Savage for an interesting listening experience. Then stay tuned for WREN’s “Mike & Murphy” show from 10-12 Noon!
