TIE: Teresa Ferguson's Femme-FM and American Pop With Louis Harrison

Teresa Ferguson's silky purr on Femme FM is a delicious complement to the satin sounds of the ladies she plays. She's one of the few deejays who can make us turn up the radio for her backsell, even if we already recognize what she just played! Ferguson's playlist ranges from Sara Hickman to Sarah Vaughan and features women composers, performers, and songwriters in a wildly eclectic context. FFM follows Paul Ray's popular Twine Time on Saturday nights until midnight. KUT's American Pop, produced and hosted by Louis Harrison since 1992, is a collection of really, really golden oldies - vintage pop, if you will. These songs were huge hits in their day. Harrison's Tin-Pan Alley musical choices are usually zippy, and the shows have themes - from singing cowboys to loving tributes to singers like Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, and Johnny Mathis - often celebrating a singer or composer's birth, such as Ginger Rogers' birthday.
