I so miss Retro Lightning. My Saturday’s just aren’t the same. Please come back.

Also looking forward to a potential return of Retro Lightning, playing the ’60s and ’70s tunes (and some ’80s tunes!) of course.

What happened to Fred? Why is this show in hiatus?

Mary,
I hope you get Retro Lightning rolling again. It was the most enjoyable show in town. I was swept back to my childhood every Saturday morning. I keep checking every weekend and hope to hear you soon.
Thanks,
Russ

Can’t agree more with some of the comments. I’ve been listening to this over 13 years. Used to listen every Sat. morning in my garage while working out and now that I’m married and with kids, catch it taking my kids various places. Benefits them too as they get to hear music they’ll never hear on Nashville’s boring radio stations that rarely if ever play any “deep” cuts or rare singles (other than 100.1 of course!) Please bring it back!

Sharon, and everyone.

Go ahead and use this page to voice your feelings – and encourage your friends who care about the show to do the same. All I ask is that you guys try to keep it positive. I’m hopeful that upper management will make a final decision in the near future, so we can have a definitive answer for you.

Thanks for listening, all of you.

I’m so sad that Retro Lightning is off the air. It’s how we’ve started our Saturday’s since we moved to Nashville in 1995. Coffee and Retro. Fred’s show was like a little time machine – there is/was nothing like it on radio. Please bring it back. Has Fred left the station? Retired? I see he’s no longer on your list of DJ’s. Come on, please consider bringing the show back. It feels like a friend has passed away.

What’s happened to Retro Lightning? It was always a favorite, everyone I talk to misses it.

Mary,
Thanks to you and your station for it’s truly unique approach. This seems to be the only spot I can find any info on Retro. “Hiatus while a final decision is being made” is understandable, but please end the hiatus and bring it back. Ask your listeners. Can we take a poll or “like” you on facebook? I have listened almost every Sat. morning for 10 years and sent the link to many friends when raving about the show and how much FUN it is to step into the time machine. Here’s hoping.

Mary-
I’ll miss Fred also, but I do enjoy your show. You can do Retro! Is it just my imagination or is Lightning beginning to go alt-country local? Seems like more and more songs being generated in a country vein. I’m all for the local artist and have been here all my life, I just depend on you guys for other stuff!
