* indicates shows still on the air (sometimes in slightly altered time slots) in 1984
+ indicates programs still on the air today (in some form)
Station hours were 5 am to 2 am. "Country Tunes" was later renamed "Morning Country Style" and ran 5 am to 7 am. When the station started changing its program schedule in 1984, our biggest howls of protest came from the removal of "Morning Country Style" and the removal of the daily sign-on and recording of the "Lord's Prayer" at 5:55 am. We finally had to do it at 5:05 am.
