This week and next "480 Minutes" will be a 'Rerun' of a previously recorded show. This year the day after Christmas and the day after New Year's day are both Fridays, so not too many people will be at their offices tuning in. With that in mind we're taking today and next Friday off from doing new, live editions of "480 Minutes" and we'll be back again live and in-person on Friday, 1/9/2009.

Please tune in from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, but no IMs or e-mails today...well, at least not ones that require answers before Friday, January 9th, 2008. Thanks, and have a lovely weekend.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to you and yours.

Traditionally the show after the Best Of... show is a free-for-all filled with classics and great recent tracks requested by you, the listeners, and stitched together by me, the host. I don't see any reason why today should be any different. Have a peek at some of our recent year-end lists to get some ideas for requests.

Please tune in to the latest edition of the longest-running weekly hosted live show in the history of internet radio, "480 Minutes," today and every Friday. The show runs live from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, is rebroadcast starting at 8 p.m., then twice more on Saturday. On Saturday night at midnight we return to regular BAGeL Radio programming.
