These programs continue the first publication anywhere of all MD playlists from 1984, the year Midnight Dread moved from KTIM to KQAK and the local reggae scene really heated up. Check the Midnight Dread store for crucial cds of these amazing time capsules when classic, progressive roots reggae ruled the roost and the airwaves.
MIDNIGHT DREAD began as a reggae radio show with its first regular airing September 30th, 1979 on KTIM FM in San Rafael, California. It began broadcasting weekly on March 17th, 1980, just after Mikey Dread's legendary appearance on Midnight Dread that gave birth to many of the program's distinctive stingers. It ran continuously from 1979 to 1985 on KTIM and KQAK. It then continued on KUSF, KFOG & KPFA in the San Francisco area through the 1990s and into the 2000s on World One KECG and Radio IO online.
