If 1993 was the 'wild' year, then 1994 was the most unsure year of the program's history. While the radio show was partially at WDBK 91.5FM in Blackwood, New Jersey, 88.9FM WBZC station in Pemberton, New Jersey was finally completed with state of the art studios and equipment. The only problem was, we weren't on the air yet as planned. The normal red tape stoppage in the buildup to finally flicking the switch on to go live was being forever delayed. But our program director Drew Jacobs had a brilliant idea. While we weren't on the air officially, each new program at the station still reported for their shift and did an actual simulated radio show. This went on until he felt the station as a whole was ready to go before getting the big scissors out to cut the ribbon. But as for our program? There were doubts. Not with the new station, with the product of the program. After waiting for over a year for the new station, there was contemplation of retiring the program. And while our LS Top 40 featured some progressive rock mixed with classic rock, it just still didn't feel right in structure. And that was where the problem was rooted. It wouldn't be until 1995 that we would commit to a progressive rock only format. And while this year was the most difficult in pondering the future of the radio show, it was just time we had to get through to arrive to what the program eventually became. Contributions were made by the following: Keith "The Man" Myers, Drew Jacobs, Rich Pokrass, Full Circle Records, Jon Most, Tony Gallo, and Tom Gallo, 

 A forever thanks to the late great radio DJ that gave me my first shot on the radio in the great Greg Ficchi.
