Nights with Alice Cooper is a radio show hosted by rock and roll artist and shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper. It is syndicated by United Stations Radio Networks and broadcast on over 50 radio stations in the USA, seven in Canada, and is also available in the UK (on Planet Rock), Ireland, Australia, Denmark, Sweden and New Zealand. Dozens of affiliate stations stream the radio show as well. Most places it airs from 7 p.m. to Midnight, locally.
Cooper plays his favorite songs (most of which are classic rock) and interviews celebrities. Celebrities he has interviewed on his show include Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Brian Johnson of AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Meat Loaf, Rob Zombie, Glenn Danzig, Def Leppard, and Jerry Springer. Alice Cooper's radio show also plays rare tracks of classic rock artists, along with blues, early punk rock, and psychedelic music.
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.
