Kid Kelly’s Backtrax USA will air its final new show November 28, ending a syndicated production run of more than three decades.
RAMP reported the date from Kelly’s notice to affiliates. RadioInsight’s November 9 report also identifies the weekend of November 28 as the endpoint.
The program began with music from the 1980s and later added a separate 1990s edition. Current affiliates may rerun earlier shows while deciding what to put in the slot, according to RAMP.
Kelly recommended Robby Bridges’ Robby’s Top 20 Countdown as an option. That recommendation is not an automatic transfer of affiliates: each station still needs to make its own replacement arrangements.
The practical deadline for programmers is the end of new production, which is distinct from the last date a station might carry an archive episode.
