New Shows

WLIT1980s
Welcome to "K TODD"! Before we had the 80's...we were lovin' the 70's! You remember the 70's? It was the Era of Mood rings, lava lamps, sea monkeys and pet rocks. We were watching disaster movies like "Earthquake", "The Towering Inferno" and "Airport". TV was hot with "All In The Family", "Happy Days", and the debut of "Saturday Night Live". But one of the most wonderful things of this era was K- Tel Records...you remember those albums sold on TV that gave us "22 original hits by the original stars".

K Todd is a tribute to this era of great music and memories. Join us each Monday evening at 8ET on www.star1079.com

Call Todd anytime to leave a request or comment voicemail...(315) 665-1970

NEWS & EVENTS

New Year, New Events


Last year we redesigned our web site. This year we moved to a new web server (don't worry - the web address stays the same) and we are working on a request system, where you can search most of our songs and pick which one you want to hear. We will also be doing an update to our studio software, updating the songs we have in our inventory with the release year, making sure our album covers are more complete and of course adding those 80s songs that are missing from our vast library.

Maintenance


Web site move is done. Now to fix the year associated with our songs that are now on the web site... only about 300+ more to go. Request system testing will be coming in a couple months, we may cause some hicups. We will try to keep them brief, and at worst you might see the wrong song data displayed or the web site have some brief color changes. We did discover that if you are using a web browser that is not WC3 compliant (i.e. versions of Internet Explorer before version 10), you may not see our Now Playing information as designed. Unfortunately IE 10 is only available for Windows 8 and maybe Windows 7. Latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Opera have been confirmed to be WC3 compliant as it relates to viewing this web site. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
