Scott Boatright Returns With "Cold Radio Fusion"!
Hello everyone. I first started my WHFR radio career in the spring of '98. A world of musical and personal possibilities was opened to me. Since then, I have been a DJ for many shows, Head Music Director, Promotions Coordinator, and organized and planned many fundraiser events for the station. I have left and come back for various reasons, including Covid, and now I am excited to be back.
I have decided to go back to the beginning. Before I landed my own first show, I filled in on several different shows that explored different genres of music, sometimes not adequately represented at the station. My new show, Cold Radio Fusion, airing Tuesdays from 10:00pm - midnight, does exactly that. Each week of the month, I will be showcasing a different scheduled genre of music, some that are genres within a genre, including:
- 1st Tuesday of the month: Metal, in most of its forms
- 2nd Tuesday of the month: Jazz with mostly Metal/Rock Fusion influences
- 3rd Tuesday of the month: Goth/Industrial/Dark Electronic
- 4th Tuesday of the month: Stoner/Doom/Sludge-Rock
- The occasional 5th Tuesday of the month: Punk/Garage/Ska
I enjoy them all, and I hope that you will join me in listening to some of the endless possibilities of great music we present here at WHFR.
Check me out every Tuesday evening from 10:00pm - midnight on the Cold Radio Fusion show.
-Scott Boatright.
Seeing Sounds And Hearing Colors: It's Another WHFR Theme Week
A vivid spectrum of colorful sounds will travel the airwaves as WHFR Radio presents another theme week, this time celebrating fall colors. The landscape of Michigan bursts with colors every October and the programming at WHFR will try to match that intensity with a spectrum of colors of their own.
Tune in during the week of Sunday, October 13, through Saturday, October 19, as the WHFR hosts and hostesses explore the spectrum of colors through the medium of their particular musical genres. All colors of the spectrum are fair game as our programming will seek out colorful music that may be found in a song title, album title, artist/band name or even a record label. The end result should be a kaleidoscopic rainbow of musical tunes for your visual and aural pleasure.
That's Sunday, beginning at 10:00am with Terence Tyson's Play It By Ear jazz show, through Saturday night's Blues With A Feeling from 8:00-10:00pm with Anderson Coleman. We hope you will enjoy the special programming.
BTW, I credit the improvising group Spontaneous Music Ensemble for inspiring such a cosmic name "Seeing Sounds and Hearing Colours," the name of one of their great pieces of music.
-Pat Frisco, WHFR Program Director
