Now that we have greater flexibility in our DeePlay autoplay system, we're looking to provide more entertainment to our listeners even when the pesky human colleagues aren't on air to provide it. Beyond this, we also feel that there are certain events and anniversaries that we should at least mark!

 

Some will be all day DeePlay MAX autoplaylists, connected to the theme of that event or anniversary, some will be marked with special live shows or features in live shows, and some will be a combination.

​

FIRST PASS FOR THE UPDATED DEEPLAY MAX FOR 2025!

EACH OF THESE DAYS WILL HAVE OTHER SHOW FEATURES ADDED, SO BE SURE TO LOOK OFTEN!
