Saturday Nights Belong to the Oldies Time Machine

June 15, 2024 · by Dub Pritchett

Some shows are appointment listening, and on KLSR 105.3 FM that show is the Oldies Time Machine. Saturdays from 8 to 10AM, Dan Donavan rolls back the clock to the rock and roll of the 1950s and '60s, and the request line at (806) 259-3511 lights up from the first song.

It is more than a playlist. Listeners call in dedications for anniversaries, for a sweetheart from high school, for a parent who used to spin these same 45s at home. Dan reads them on the air and drops the needle, and for a couple of hours the Rolling Plains sounds like a sock hop.

Oldies around the clock

If two hours is not enough, KLSR plays oldies 24/7, so the music is there whenever you want it. But there is something about the live Saturday show, with real requests and real stories, that a stream of songs just cannot match.

Got a song in mind? Call it in, or send it our way through the contact page, and listen for it next Saturday on The Big Station.
