Saturdays, 12pm-2pm
Hosted by Electric Elliot and Peter "the Boss-Man"
Braun.
KUPS 90.1FM The Sound presents the The Melon - a
talk radio show with more guts than a Swedish
meatball factory. Ready for a radio station that's
ripe for controversy, sweet like nectar, and has
relatively few seeds? Then glue your audio receptors
to your speaker box, because The Melon is dedicated
to catching news-flies with spoon-fulls of honey,
not piles of bullshit. With live interviews and apt
reporting on the modern world, you'll wake up and
taste the melon.
