About The Eclipse Show

Starting in Colorado in 1978 as "an alternative black radio show," The Eclipse Show aired the earliest hip-hop records alongside funk and soul before eventually morphing into an all hip-hop show. The Eclipse Show is still on community radio KGNU, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2018 making it one of the (and possibly the) longest continually running hip-hop radio shows in the world.
