Final FOCUS show on WDET-FM E-mail

Image
Liz Copeland
This is a truly sad month in the history of Detroit Radio.  As many of you know, WDET is changing formats and eliminating one of our favorite shows.  The show they are eliminating is Liz Copeland's Alternate Take show that has been on the air for nearly 12 years.  The Wednesday night/Thursday morning show will be the final FOCUS radio segment on WDET.  The topic for the last show is the Best of Detroit Techno.  I would like to urge everyone to tune in and show your support!

For those of you in the local area, the station is 101.9fm.  For those of you out of the area, you can stream the show via the web: http://www.wdetfm.org/

To refresh your memory, this is the same show that we offer for download that featured an interview with Mad Mike Banks.  Click Here if you still need a copy of this interview.  He was featured on her show again in late 2006, and we will be encoding that file for download soon.

For more information, please visit her website:  http://www.alternatetakeradio.com  

We would like to wish the best to Liz Copeland in her future endeavors.  You will be missed by all your fans and friends that listen to the show. Thank you for everything you've done.  You've always looked out for the local artists and we will always remember that! 

Here is the note that she posted on her website... 

My dear friends,


As many of you know, Alternate Take will end its run on WDET on Friday night/Saturday morning, March 31st. WDET has shifted its programming emphasis to primarily news and information.


I have so far received an astonishing number of heart-wrenching messages regarding this change. I would like to thank you for your support and kindness. You must know this: WDET could not have sustained this radio program without you – whether if it was by spreading the word, giving feedback or insight, sending music or by giving a dollar.


In the final days of Alternate Take on WDET, I would like to celebrate what has been nearly 12 years of adventurous radio programming in a unique venue. This will involve one final album spotlight, a final FOCUS, special guests – and, of course, a whole lot of gratitude. I invite you to join me, either in real time or OnDemand. The ability in professional radio to celebrate these last days and to properly thank those that have made this possible is a rare occasion indeed. Those six nights begin tonight, Friday night/Saturday morning, March 24th and run the entirety of next week (Monday through Friday evenings AKA Tuesday through Saturday mornings), concluding on Friday night/Saturday morning, March 31st.


As a good friend and radio veteran has told me, when one door closes, another opens. For 12 years (a lifetime in radio), I have been determined enough to continue to be energized by radio in the wee hours. I have learned much, yet feel as if I’ve just begun. As I investigate new methods of connecting the music with its fans in a relevant fashion, I am optimistic that its reach could have more of an impact than ever before. I will keep you updated on developments through this mailing list.


I am grateful that we have been a part of this together. Now, let’s look to the future.


Thank you for being out there.
