According to Thegauntlet.com, in conjunction with the METALLICA digital boxset release on March 31st, the 50,000 watt Commercial Radio Station KMKF 101.5FM K-ROCK in Northeast Kansas is scheduling an entire day of Metallica music for April Fools Day. Starting at 6am Central Standard Time on April 1st 101.5FM K-ROCK will play almost every Metallica song available in the digital box set, including all songs from every studio release from 1983’s Kill ‘Em All through 2008’s Death Magnetic. K-ROCK will also play tracks from 1987’s Garage Days Re-Revisited, 2000’s Garage Inc. release as well as selected tracks from the 2003 Binge And Purge live box set.
“This station plays so much Metallica on a daily basis we thought it would be a great April Fools stunt to play almost every song available from the band,” boasts KMKF Promotions Director and Morning Show co-host Shawn Rock. “Metallica fans are some of the most loyal in the world, and with the digital box set release it’s a great time to celebrate the band’s catalog. The fact that we’re doing this on Commercial Radio is unbelievable! All of the station’s jocks are involved and we’re excited to be delivering something so cool and exclusive to our listeners.”Read more here.
