Free-Form Programming

Free-Form Programming An alternative to the prevailing radio disc jockey programming format, boss radio, of 1965; devised by Russ “The Moose” Syracuse at San Francisco’s KYA. In free-form, top chart discs are played but interspersed with folk songs, new work of local performers, and other music ignored by the boss stations. The disc jockey has a greater voice in selection of material than in boss.
