Featured Survey / FEBRUARY 1976 ♪
WTAC was one of Flint, Michigan's, first Top 40 stations oh, so many years ago. By the 1970s, it was so popular that it created a popular "Hot Hits" format and thrived throughout the decade as "The Big 600." That lasted 'til 1981 when Top 40s petered out and it flipped to Country. Still Rockin' though, DJ Peter Cavanaugh teases their February 13, 1976 music chart in the guise of an adorable chimp puckered up for a Valentine kiss ... ♪ 50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again!
