WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The Comedy Christmas Show” – 1999

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

Exactly two weeks after the first Christmas tape, Chris, Jim, and Alberto assembled at Jim’s house after school on December 10, 1999.  This would turn out to be the last show of the millennium, and it was another Christmas show.  This one, however, had Chris’ comedy Christmas music mixed with the classics from various television specials.  They dedicated this tape to Mr. Hill, Jim’s math teacher, with hopes of playing this sample of authentic free Internet radio in front of the class.  It never happened.  Mr. Hill did make a copy of the tape, and with the fun they had making it, it certainly wasn’t a wasted effort.

But there was trouble beginning the tape.  The hookups were wrong, and Jim spent a lot of precious time setting up for the show and making everything work.  The show finally started a while after Mike returned home from school, which was much later than expected, but the show went on without a hitch.  There is some feedback on the tape, and Jim sounds a little disgusted in the beginning (from all the work he had to do to fix the connections), but the rest of the show was great.

The cast then did something they hadn’t done before on the air.  They sang two songs on the tape- White Christmas, and their own 5 greatest and other inventions of the millennium song written by Jim (in the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas).  The songs came out surprisingly well (considering their singing “ability”) but Jim wasn’t so hopeful.  He jokingly stated that, “We’re basically making fun of ourselves”, but was proven wrong by the creativity of Chris singing the lead of White Christmas.The time was very tight, as Chris had to go to his sister’s basketball game, but Chris stalled for time, and the tape was finished.  It shows how the cast can turn any event into a hilarious one!

As you can see, the excitement was all too much for the boys to record only one show.  Join in the excitement by checking out all the great free Internet radio programming at the WCJM website.

WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The Originals Show” – 2007

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

Six months from the last Moore Hits in the Morning broadcast, Jim thought it was time to do another free Internet radio show. Actually, the idea was to do another Christmas show in time for the holidays, but as seen throughout the years, scheduling has been tough.

So, after much debate about whether or not to actually do the show, Chris, Jim, Mike, and Alberto met up to do a four-person show for the first time in almost ten years. The result is a great show that is both memorable and hilarious!A long skit-writing segment took place, as Jim and Chris worked hard on skits and Mike and Alberto worked on TNWST reports. It got a bit stressful, as you’ll hear Mike and Alberto making of fun of Jim during the show about it.

Chris’ skit about the WCJM Merchandise Store made the cast laugh hysterically about all the fun new products based on past skits and characters. Jim also paid homage to Matt’s Celebrity Jeopardy from Beyond the Grave skit by doing his own. You’ll be surprised at some of the guests!This is the first WCJM show recorded completely on the computer, as opposed to MiniDiscs or tapes. Thankfully, the recording process went off without a hitch, and the levels came out great.

The Originals Show puts songs by bands while they still had original members alongside the original four cast members of WCJM Radio’s Moore Hits in the Morning. This one’s sure to please and keeps the WCJM free Internet radio station alive and well!

WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The Rock & Roll Christmas Show” – 2000

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

Dave Perrelli decided to join the cast because he heard and liked the Everything is Christmas Show.  So it was no surprise that Dave was very insistent on doing another Christmas Show.  Luckily, Jim and Mike had enough music to do another show, and thus the Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas was made.

The free Internet radio show was done on very short notice because of different scheduling conflicts, and after school on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 the show was done.  The cast was picked up from a half day of school by Jeff Copperthite, one of the writers for the show (also playing Ron Popeil).  They went to eat at Subway and came back to Jim’s house to do the show.

This show contained many of the more personal touches that the World Series Show lacked.  Even though Chris didn’t talk as much as he wanted to on the air (I say, “Tough!”), there was more than just great music.  There was a skit with Dr. K, a story by Jeff and a story by Chris, and Jeff’s tips of the day.  And everyone’s favorite bear came back to join us on Christmas show as Stuffy D. Bear made the whole cast crack-up again.  There was also a new song that was never heard before made by Jim Fusco himself.

But of course, there were problems.  The show was originally made to fit on one 74 minute MiniDisc.  Unfortunately, Traffic, News, and Weather ran very long and the show did not fit in the allotted time.  So, Jim Fusco decided, with help from the rest of the cast, to put the show on another MiniDisc.  This let the show breathe a little more, and allowed for Jeff and Chris’ stories.  This free Internet radio show is a timeless classic that will be played for every Christmas to come!

WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The ‘Live’ Show” – 2001

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

Right after (the same day) the All-American Show, the WCJM cast decided to do the “Live” Show.  This free Internet radio show was originally going to be done live on the internet (note the quotes around “Live”)  but the cast decided to just put live versions of their favorite songs on the show instead.

The members of the cast were the same as the All-American Show and Jim did his Food Critic and World Report segments as well.  Matt contributed his hilarious comedy segments and his special brand of music to add variety to the show.

Stuffy D. Bear came on the show to do another segment, making the cast laugh again and again.  The cast even sang one of Jim Fusco’s songs, “Something Is Out Of My Life” live on the air.  The song came out very good, despite Dave’s crippling singing ability.  (All of Jim Fusco’s songs are copyrighted 2001 by Fusco-Moore Productions, a subsidiary of WCJM Internet Radio Co. and stealing their material is punishable by horrendous acts of discipline).

With a great “live” feel to it, this show came out really well and is a classic for those who love concert versions of songs.  Oh, and for those who like to laugh, this show is up your alley as well!  This free Internet radio show really makes you feel a-“live”!
