I’m posting this a bit late, but better late than never. Everyone’s longtime favorite late night dj, Liz Copeland, is going to be having her final show on WDET this Friday Night/Saturday morning. The following comes from an e-mail sent out by Liz Copeland.
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, volunteering 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 final nights run all this week (Monday through Friday
evenings AKA Tuesday through Saturday mornings), concluding on Friday
night/Saturday morning, March 31st. I also invite you to join my
friends Chuck
Horn (Seventh Journey), Mick Collins (Night Train), W. Kim Heron and Ralph
Valdez as they sign off of the WDET airwaves one last time.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 I¹ve 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 website and its mailing list [please sign up if you
haven't yet]. I am grateful that we have been a part of this
together. Now, let¹s look to
the future. Thank you for being out there.liz copeland
