Looks like this fertile ground has been covered before: > [@First song played on the launch of a new station?](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/first-song-played-on-the-launch-of-a-new-station/2340): > > Listening to the launch of a new radio station can be an exciting thing. Part of the excitement is the anticipation of what song is going to be played first. When 3ZM converted to FM they played ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Big song, though interestingly not part of their playlist prior nor after. Similarly, when 92 MORE FM launched in Christchurch they played Boston’s ‘More than a feeling’… even though it didn’t fit with their ‘Not too heavy Not too soft’ format ~ they didn’t play it again for year… Rule #1 of forum posting: Google (and MediaSpy archives) are your friends 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/radio-history/236)._
