The Time Machine Goes Viral

Before XM and Sirius, HD-2 multicast channels, or even "Real Oldies" stations on AM, there was Richard Kaufman, a/k/a "Ricky the K." and his one-man crusade to bring back pre-Drake '60s-style radio. When I first interviewed Kaufman for R&R in the mid-'80s, he envisioned his wide-playlist, throwback Oldies format on a satellite network (of what would have then been the SMN or Transtar variety). Later, he brought it to the Saturday night Oldies show on KOMA Oklahoma City, then began offering his "Solid Gold Time Machine" on the Internet as a subscription service, which still exists. Now, Kaufman is looking to promote himself with a series of Internet videos, the first of which can be seen here.
