Programming announcements at 101 WRIF

Solid move. It seems Riff is trying to change up from all the other tracked/national/shuck and jive programming found everywhere else on the dial. The formentioned show changes, plus the foreplay at 4, Live at 5, set them apart from everyone else. Sounds good.

Just need to bring back Peter Werbe now.

I'm a fan of Peter, but the man is 80 years old. That's going to fly on a rock station anymore.

I had no idea! I thought he was late 60s or around 70.

If Peter Werbe had his way, we all would have been living the Amish lifestyle of the late 19th Century...

We tend to think of people being the way they were and age they were when we first heard of them. Those people with late Sunday night shows circa 1970 are at least 70 now, and if they had experience then, are close to the age MCRF quoted. He had a cousin in Flint who was younger I think. Can't think his first name. Maybe that's who you were thinking of. Oh wait, that Irish guy knows him.

Part of it is the way he speaks to those who are younger than him. It is rare(in my experience) that older men speak to young people with the respect that he does.

Correct. Sonic Rendezvous was still around long after WABX was gone.

I remember Rif's Rock Cafe overnight program.

The programming changes have been great. It's nice to see so much life and energy being pumped back into this legendary station.

I wish that they would resume streaming RIFF2 online again.

What was on RIFF2?

Werbe is intensely skilled. Sadly, his ambition is to be an evangelist for the far-left and not to speak to, and for, communities.
