September brings in those changes … Clothing, going back to school, and the start of a new season. Songs that were on the radio in September in the ’70s will be featured on 70s on 7 (Ch. 7) all Labor Day weekend to bring back the memories of cooler times.

1st Wave (Ch. 33) is extending the long holiday weekend. Starting September 4 at 3am ET, enjoy the extended versions, remixes, and long variations of all your favorite 1st Wave music!
