The HiFi Party The 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. |

The Time Machine The 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. |

Ramtown Mike and Friends: Stereo Tom, Randy
and Jeff From 8-9P eastern, we feature on the 1st and last Wednesday of each month, The Real Diehl with Tom Diehl, the 2nd Wednesday is Randy on the Radio and the 3rd Wednesday it's Jeff’s Rock'N'Roll Record Party. From 9-12M eastern, it’s the Otherside of Ramtown where the emphasis is on fun with musical oldies contests. Plus the last Wednesday of the month is an all Request Fest. All Wednesday shows present music from the 50's, 60's & early 70's. The main focus is on those rarely heard quality oldies that do not get played elsewhere. |

The Platter Party I 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.

Sidetrax with Soxx You'll hear wide variety of tunes mainly from the 50's and 60's. I try to include a bit of every genre from the greatest decades in music, Rockabilly to Doowop and even a little country to kick up your boots to, along with information or trivia about the songs or artists. You will hear a few you know, but most will be those that didn't made it to the charts, but should have. My goal is for you to enjoy the music and have FUN! |

Vinyl Treasures I 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 I have a music library of over 500,000 songs including 100,000 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. |

The Record Revival My two rooms full of oldies 45s, LPs, and CDs collected over my forty plus years in the record hobby will be shared with you every Sunday night. I feature only the best rare and unusual rock-n-roll and R&B tunes from the 1950s and 1960s, along with some later releases that will be of direct interest to the oldies fan. The music is presented in a unique 'progressive oldies' format featuring sets of related songs and information. Kick back and relax at the end of your weekend and enjoy some great seldom heard tunes on the Record Revival!! |
