Rhythm Revue Comes Home
Rhythm Revue Saturdays 10:00AM-2:00PM

Great R&B music expands its place on non-commercial Jazz 88.3 FM with Felix Hernandez's Rhythm Revue - Saturday mornings from 10:00AM - 2:00PM.

Rhythm Revue started at WBGO in 1986. Hernandez left WBGO for Jammin' 105 WTJM in 1999 and gained new followers in the commercial radio world.

"They made me an offer I couldn't refuse," says Hernandez, "but some of my followers have never let me forget how good the show was on WBGO." With Jammin' 105's format change, the timing was right to return to where Rhythm Revue started.

"Many listeners prefer a non-commercial presentation of this music form," said WBGO General Manager Cephas Bowles, "because they hear more music per hour than anywhere else on the dial. With our consistent and longstanding emphasis on high-quality music and information programming, WBGO is the ideal place for this very important and popular program."

Rhythm Revue's blend of classic soul and R&B music received the 2000 A.I.R. (Achievement in Radio) Award for the Best Weekend Program in New York. Hernandex has also recently celebrated his 1,000th show on WBGO. Tied to Felix's radio show is a series of dance parties at New York's Roseland Ballroom which consistently draw over 3,000 dancers on a Saturday night each month.

WBGO is thrilled to have the best in the business playing R&B on its airwaves. The richness of this great music lives on Jazz88.
