In July of 2001, "Chicks Who Rock" was created.
There was a need to fill a time slot that had no set programming. That's when I was given the opportunity to create my own 4-hour show on the radio station I had been with since September of '98.
I decided to feature music for which I had a personal passion - music that was being sadly ignored - music that I was tired of being ridiculed for enjoying.
Call it "Heavy Metal", "Glam Band", "Big Hair"... hell, call it what you want (Tesla pun intended)... I wanted to create a haven, a party-like atmosphere for people who shared my taste in music.
My motto, "to have fun WITH the music and not make fun OF the music" rang true to fans who also suffered the slings and arrows from critics of the genre.
"Chicks Who Rock" quickly became one of the highest rated radio programs in its time slot. Others have tried to imitate the environment created by "Chicks Who Rock" but have fallen to the wayside, largely due to a cynical presentation, a lack of passion and a limited playlist.
Thus, "Chicks Who Rock", the original 80's rock revival program in Sacramento, came to reign the airwaves on Saturday nights.
