Chairman Moe, Host of Chairman Moe Wednesday's @ 9pm

March 31, 2025 - 6:00 am

DJ ChairmanMoe has been a part of the KBCS family since 2009, when his first show “Recycled Music” made its debut. At the time, the theme was Cover Tunes, and his show featured the music you loved, just not the way you remember hearing it. It was a good run but the show seemed to lose a little steam. In 2017, a format change was due and (at the encouragement of KBCS management) a new show format was launched under the title, Chairman Moe, with a focus on 80’s music, deep-diving into the world of post punk, early goth, power pop, garage/jangle and anything else that doesn’t typically appear on a AI-generated playlist from a corporate service.
