Live radio show, hosted by Mike Saffran, on “99 BBF”/WBBF-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired 6 p.m.–Midnight April 18, 1998.
The first live Saturday-night show following a hiatus during which the station was rebranded as “The All-New 99 BBF.” On this particular night, the show was, strictly speaking, not “The Jukebox”; however, listener phone calls and plugs for the following week’s show (April 25, 1998) — marking the official return of “The Jukebox” — were aired.
