  • Made In Canada - a weekly spotlight of a song that made it internationally by a recording artists or group from somewhere in Canada)
  • Lounge Double - Every week the Treasure Island Oldies Lounge fdeatures a double, two songs that would sound great if heard live in a lounge or bar)
  • Wheel of Travel - Every week we travel to a different city to hear a song by that city or town's famous performer(s).
  • Instrumental Gem of the Week - There used to be a time when instrumentals were a regular thing, unlike today. Every week a well known instrumental song is played.

Hour 2 regular weekly features:
  • Rock & Roll News, Birthdays and the Top 5 Countdown from Rock & Roll History. This week the year will be 1966.
  • Compare The Hits - Two artists performing the same song and both were hits.
Hour 3 regular weekly features:
  • Moment In Time - There is always a story behind every song and every week that story is told from a moment in time.
  • Car Tune - Fill up the car with gas and crank up the volume, as we play a classic driving song.
  • Voice Your Choice - This week it's Harpers Bizarre: Come To The Sunshine OR Chatanooga Choo Choo. Come to the main page of the website and cast your vote. We'll play the winning song in Hour 3.
Hour 4 regular weekly features:
  • Rock & Roll Reunion - We return to our roots: the 1950s for a Rock & Roll Sock Hop and dance away to the great '50s tunes
  • Spot Dance - At the end of the Rock & Roll Reunion, we roll up the carpet, turn the lights down low, get the mirror ball spinning slowly, grab our dance partner and dance away to two dreamy slow numbers.
Of course, throughout the show you will hear lots of Lost Treasures, either rarely heard or hard to find hits.

Join us this and every week.
