“Reeling in the Years” Returns April 11

Many of us have often had a longing for the past, a yearning for yesterday.
With nostalgia in mind, another edition of “Reeling in the Years” will air on WJLE the night of April 11.
Former WJLE announcers Dennis Stanley and Shawn Jacobs host the program that will feature the pop/rock music and artists of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
“We’ll be playing many of the songs that today’s 50 to 65 year old residents remember as teens and young adults,” said both Jacobs and Stanley. “The music you will hear on our show will bring back many fond memories. We’ve made sure our playlist includes a few songs that were popular during April in a number of years in the 1970s. It’s those little details we want to incorporate into our show to make it even more enjoyable.”
The program will also showcase the diversity of the pop/rock music scene during a time of transition in the lives of our listeners and in the world.
“During the days we were ‘disc jockeys,’ WJLE and radio stations throughout the country were playing music that ranged from soul, rock, southern rock to disco music. All of those genres were mixed within the same program, and ironically, it worked,” said Jacobs and Stanley.
The April 11 program will air from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on WJLE FM and will be the second of four shows planned for 2015.
