Wagonload Of Monkeys

Wagonload of Monkeys : 26 April 2020- a change of time for The Wagonload

Well, in spite of the playlist appearing here yesterday at 6pm, there was no Wagonload of Monkeys show yesterday! Governor Cuomo held his briefing at 12 noon and so WJFF brought it to you live - and there was no Wagonload. Next week the show moves to 3pm to accommodate the Governor and will continue in that spot until the briefings end or move.
