S5-S7 signal via the Lodi, New York, SDR with decent audio and relatively low to moderate noise and fading (I previously had an S7 signal via Fair Hill, Maryland, but there was more noise) ...

2002 UTC: "Gloria" by The Midnight. At the song's end, a female voice repeated something, maybe an ID?
2005 UTC: "West End Girls" by Pet Shop Boys.
2009 UTC: "Sunset" by The Midnight; voice underneath saying something?
2014 UTC: "Midnight City" by M83. I'm now listening via the Shrewsbury, Vermont, SDR, which has an S7+ signal and slightly better audio amid some fading and noise.
2018 UTC: Male voice said this twice: "The '80s Channel. Waiting for the weekend to drop? It has." Then "Shout" by Tears for Fears.
2024 UTC: Male voice with the same ID as before ("The '80s Channel. Waiting for the weekend to drop? It has."), then "Forever You" by Kiile & Marvel83'.
2030 UTC: Male voice: "The '80s Channel. Good night for now and sleep tight. One more song, one more song ..." into the sedate instrumental "So This is For You" by Marvel83'.
2033 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the great music this afternoon!

S8-S9 here - 80s vibe on a Friday afternoon. Not weird... but fun.

2005: ID? The 80s Channel - Happy Friday... repeated

Definitely a channel ID of 'The 80s Channel'
