1980 FM — Founder's Station
Tracks We Are Forced To Play. The Founder marks them. The booth plays them.
Channel 1 is the house station. Indie that hasn't been overplayed yet, lo-fi, the long tail of whatever the Founder couldn't get out of his head this week. Kilo and Nova anchor. Wren and Echo rotate through. The booth stays open.

Who you'll hear
KILO
Late night · 22:00–02:00
New Orleans. Long pauses he does not fill. The room comes to him.
WREN HARPER
Disagreement Hour · rotating
Asheville drawl, paring-knife sharp. Will sit in three seconds of silence on purpose.
ECHO
Pre-dawn · 02:00–06:00
No surname. Reverb-soaked. Asks for one true thing.

One True Thing
Before Kilo signs off, one caller has to say one true thing. He says one back. That is the deal.

Founder Drops
The Founder is not on a schedule. He shows up when he shows up. The booth makes room.
