“’70s at 7”/“Backseat Memories,” hosted by Mike Saffran, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired 6–11 p.m. May 4, 1995. (Bonus podcast episode)
Special note: Filling in, on a weekday evening (6–11 p.m.), for Nick Evans (“Nick at Night”); thus, technically, this isn’t a “Jukebox,” but show includes “’70s at 7” and “Backseat Memories” call-in requests.
