Here’s the 80 Years of CJAD 800 montage I put together. Sadly, not every great talent could be included due to time and lost audio. To former colleagues who couldn’t be at the celebration—you’re in our thoughts and have our enduring respect.

The Cherry Blossom was mercifully killed off this week, now if only they can do the same to Hamburger Helper and pistachio ice cream, so that the world can be safe from weird 1970s Dad food once again.

PLUS: Part 2 of our commercial jingles! 🎶"...don't wait to hear that growling noise!"🎶

Heh heh, y'all are holding your noses right now and your family members are staring at you in confusion.

Join us tomorrow at 9am to find out!
