Someone took the song intros by Dr. Johnny Fever on WKRP In Cincinnati and turned them into a three hour radio show.

I also see they turned the song intros by Venus Flytrap, Chris In The Morning and Hard Harry into radio shows as well.

^ welp i know what will be playing in the background today.  so far the johnny fever show is throwing down a perfect 70's radio vibe, loving it.

I'm loving this, my only gripe is I wish they could edit out the canned laughter...killing the vibe

nice...Les nessman just made a cameo

"it's 9:05, if your not at work yet, don't go, because they are just going to yell at you" into some jerry lee...

wow, introduced the cure and played jumping someone else's train

I'm listening to Venus Flytrap re-creation and he's interview a band called Scum of the Earth but the songs on the playlist are created to Detective.  A quick search and wikipedia to the rescue. 

Michael Des Barres performed songs on the fourth episode of the first season of the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati,[1] as part of the fictional hoodlum rock group "Scum of the Earth". Des Barres (who played "Sir Charles Weatherbee" aka "Dog") and two other actors (Peter Elbling, as "Blood", and Jim Henderson, as "Nigel") played the part of the band during most of the TV show, and Detective performed their song "Got Enough Love" at the end of the show segment.

further info on Detective

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detective_(band)

"They were good," recalled Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, on whose Swan Song label Detective debuted.[1] "That first album of theirs, it was really good. It should have been more popular, shouldn't it?"

Couldn’t pass this up for $3 even with some tears. RL both sides.

Every song on this was a classic rock radio staple

Clearly the Doctor intro'ed more songs then Venus on WKRP so I'm guessing the radio show they put together for him was plucking from the best of "Quiet Storm" sound of that time period.  Still a great playlist to listen to, just not much of Venus

the Hard Harry radio show retrofit for Pump Up The Volume and the opening lines for the movie are

You ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up? You know that feeling that the whole country is like, one inch away from saying, "That's it! Forget it!". I mean, think about it. Everything's polluted. The environment, the government, the schools, you name it.

how little has changed since 1990
