Familiar traditions. A few surprises. Always commercial-free.
THANKSGIVING TRADITION
Arlo Guthrie's 1967 recording, Alice's Restaurant Massacree, is an approximately 18-minute musical story that begins with a Thanksgiving dinner.
It becomes a satirical tale involving littering, arrest, and the Vietnam-era military draft.
Its Thanksgiving setting helped make it an annual radio tradition for generations of listeners.
A LITTLE GRATITUDE. A LONG STORY.
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November.
It's a time for family, friends, gratitude, shared meals, and traditions.
For music lovers, hearing Alice's Restaurant on the radio has become one of those traditions.
CLIRadio shares the tradition at noon local time in five locations, followed by a Friday-noon Leftovers Edition for Guam.
Times shown are Eastern Standard Time on U.S. Thanksgiving Day.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STATION
Growing up on Long Island, New York, the radio stations of the '60s and '70s— WBAB, WNEW, WABC, and WNBC— were the soundtrack of my youth.
Listen to CLIRadio for just 20 minutes and you'll feel it: the songs, the memories, and the feeling of hearing something you haven't heard in years.
My name is David D. Doerrier. I began my broadcasting career in the early 1980s as a weekend DJ at K57 AM while stationed on Guam with the U.S. Air Force.
That launched a 12-year radio journey through stations in California, Guam, Texas, and Georgia.
THE HEART OF CLIRADIO
CLIRadio is the station I always wanted to create— one that honors the craft of radio and the power of music to connect memories, moments, and people.
CLIRadio shares Rock, Jazz, some Country, R&B, and Blues from the '60s, '70s, and '80s—drawing from a wide collection of LP tracks, deep cuts, and forgotten classics alongside familiar artists and remarkable discoveries.
Radio should feel personal, thoughtful, and alive.
WHY THE MUSIC SOUNDS DIFFERENT
Creating this station has been a labor of love. My goal is to create a sound different from other classic rock stations.
Anybody can find and play only the hits from the '60s, '70s & '80s. That's too easy!
It takes research, time, and passion to listen to thousands of hidden gems and find songs worth sharing.
“It's not just music… It's a mission!”
