107.7 The Bronc has two new student shows and they are on “track” to take you through music history; from the Beatles all the way to the Top 20 hits featured on this week’s the Billboard Hot 100!
The Music of Today!
20Track Takeover is all about today’s hits. Hosted by The Bronc’s student program director Cassie Vaz ’26, 20Track Takeover is live every Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. and it’s become Cassie’s passion, “20Track Takeover is a show comprised of the Top 20 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, we countdown from #20 to #1 every week, discussing the trends week-by-week as well as the artists and songs themselves.”
From R&B to country, this show is definitely for music fans who love pop music. In fact, 20Track Takeover is something that the programming team has wanted to do for its college demo, and that they can really get into, for quite a while, “A lot of the songs are newer and widely known, so you can tune in and sing along to almost anything that comes on.”
Cassie thinks this is a show that’s easy to enjoy, “I hope people will listen for the music, if you like pop– or anything that’s typically trending you’ll love this show, as well as learning new things about the artists behind each song and how well the music performs on the charts.”
Some of the artists Cassie will be featuring this week on 20 Track Takeover will include: Kendrick Lamar, Morgan Wallen, and Gracie Abrams.
Learn everything you always wanted to know about today’s new and popular artists on the chart, so you can just relax and take back your Friday nights!
Watch for 20Track Takeover’s new day and time coming this summer
Let’s Take It Back in Time!
Breakfast with The Beatles, hosted by Co-Production Director, Alli Burton ‘26, is exactly what the title says it is. It is early in the morning, every Friday at 8 a.m. and its full of Beatles love, music, info, and vibes!
Alli’s love for The Beatles goes all the way back to her childhood! “I’ve been a fan of them ever since I can remember. My dad is a big influence on how I listened to them, how I’ve learned from their music, so I totally get the hype of Beatlemania, because if I was a teenage girl in the 60’s, I don’t not blame them whatsoever on being obsessed!” Alli hosts Breakfast With The Beatles to express her love for the band and to explain the insightful lore and fundamentals behind the group!
This show is the second student live show on The Bronc Retro. Alli has the creativity and the skill set to create her own brand, she adds her own sound effects, and she can include audio from video clips, including interviews and fan engagement.
She considers the opportunity to host Breakfast With The Beatles a very high honor. If someone who likes the 60s British Invasion and is up at 8 a.m. on Fridays they can “expect a fun, energetic, and very interesting show. I have a lot of energy as is, and to blast my favorite band is very fun for me.”
Alli’s first task with Breakfast With The Beatles is to feature ever Beatles albums in order of release. When asked about the future of the show, she makes a very interesting statement. “I’m starting to have different themes of each show. I will be adding more stuff as I continue, because this is something that’s still progressing.”
