“Echo, play Bruce Van Dyke Radio…”

16sep23- It was a year ago today Bruce left the shores of his beloved Pyramid Lake and crossed the big muddy river. Luckily for us, back in the last century some goofball mechanics in Central Oregon paid a Reno putz to record thousands of hours of KTHX-FM off the air from 1993-96, including hundreds of hours of Bruce’s morning shows (6-10am). Reno volunteer Fred Ihlow has been painstakingly digitizing this huge VHS-tape library and we have cobbled it all together in what is now Bruce’s own channel in cyberspace: https://jiveradio.org/bvd/
What’s on Bruce Van Dyke Radio?
DAYTIME 8a-8p: BVD’s bucket of 4000 tunes he handpicked for Jiveradio from 2016-22. The Schizoclectic list ranges from Shpongle to James Brown with full Bruce voice breaks (sports, weather, commentary) from Xville at the top of every hour.
NIGHTIME 8p-8a: BVD’s KTHX TIME TUNNEL: His full morning shows (ads & all) from Xville circa ’93-’96.
For you with Amazon devices: “…play Bruce Van Dyke Radio…”
