History
The show debuted on January 26, 2004 on 16 stations, including its flagship station, KDKB-FM in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nights with Alice Cooper features many segments, including Tuesday Bluesday, Freaky Factoids, Movie Music Madness, Cooper's Covers, Same Name (two different songs with the same name), Closet Classic, The Quiet Room, Lockdown Rockdown (songs for Alice's jailed listeners) and Songs We Just Don't Understand. Alice also plays his own rare songs and tells the stories behind them in the Alice's B.O. (Beyond Obscure) and Alice's Lost Hits segments.
Holidays are big events on Nights with Alice Cooper, especially Halloween. The radio show offers numerous contests and giveaways, including a flyaway trip to see Alice in concert; a trip to see Led Zeppelin in London; and in October, 2008, the giveaway of a signed ESP guitar. Alice is also a huge trivia buff, and gives away signed pairs of his own pants to listeners who correctly answer his questions, most about rare rock or movies.
Nights with Alice Cooper is produced by music journalist and former Rockline producer Katherine Turman.
