NThe HiFi Party
8-11PThe HiFi Party is where you hear the best in UNcommon oldies, Doo Wop, Soul, Pop, R&B, Rockabilly, British Invasion, Surf and Garage from the 50's and 60's. Oh, and it's the home of the Second Chance Survey.

EThe Time Machine
8-11PThe Time Machine is hard to define. As the name tells you, we take you forward and backward in time, but that's just part of the equation. With ten different hosts, everyone has a different approach, but we're all trying to do the same thing, keep you entertained with the best tunes we can find, usually the more obscure the better. However, we try to mix in some songs you might know, but haven't grown tired of. Based out of suburban Washington, the DC Dynamos aim to please, and we like to think we hit the bulls-eye more often that not.

The Platter party
Every other Thursday 8-11PI play mostly music from the mid 50's to the mid 60's. It is filled with Teeners, Rock'n'Roll, DooWop, Girl Groups, Instrumentals, Surf, Rockabilly and phone in requests. I add a few TV themes and radio jingles of the day along with old time commercials . All in all, a nostalgic trip into the past with rare tunes never played on the radio.

Vinyl Treasures
8-10PI mainly feature vocal group harmony and R&B at its best from the 50's & early 60's. I also play Rock n' Roll, Teeners, Soul, & a little Rock-a-billy! I present the music chronologically, directly from my collection of rare original 45's, as I have over 150,000 records in my collection. You can even watch me spin these 45's in Topshelf's Tiny Chat room!
Relics and Rarities
10-3AI have a music library of over 500,000 songs including 65,000 plus original 45's, many rare that sound great and leave you wondering how they never became hits. Relics & Rarities on Topshelf Oldies is the most fun for me because I have total freedom to play whatever sounds good with no restrictions. Combining the many lost 45 gems with cool hits has been the formula for Relics & Rarities since February 1996 when this show first aired on WPDQ. Relics & Rarities also played to a national audience on XM, and is currently heard in several markets through syndication including WIBG-FM.

NWolfman's Cruisin' Party
8-11P
The Wolfman's Cruisin' Party is a varity of tunes from the 50's with some newer tunes that actually sound like they're from the 50's. I play lots of Car Tunes , that is why it is a Cruisin' Party along with Rockabilly and Doo Wop with some Pop Hits intermingled in the mix. Come into the chatroom and talk cars or music
