FM90 Premieres Night Breeze, a Retro-Inspired Drama Created by AC Student

Amarillo College’s FM90 will debut a new original radio show, Night Breeze, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28 bringing listeners a mix of storytelling, music, and 1980s nostalgia. 

Created, written, and produced by AC mass media student Evan Banner Night Breeze takes inspiration from the moody, cinematic energy of Kenny Loggins’ song “Night watch. ”The track’s dark, synth-driven tone became the creative spark for what Evan describes as a retro, atmospheric experience that feels like tuning into a mysterious late-night show from another time.

“I heard the song and thought, this would make such a cool intro for a show,” Banner said. “It has this dramatic, brooding energy that feels like a story waiting to happen. That’s when I decided to create Night Breeze—just for fun, but also as a creative challenge.” 

Set against a backdrop of neon nights and electric memories, Night Breeze takes place in the fictional town of Cedar Tree in North California. On Oct. 28,1984, something spooky happens, and listeners experience it through the eyes of “Electric Evan,” the show’s on-air narrator.

Promotional posters read:

“Good Times Radio Presents Night Breeze — It happened in the fall of 1984, and Electric Evan was there to witness all of it.”

Banner developed the project this fall, producing original promos, sound design, and visual materials for the FM90 broadcast.

“Our students are constantly exploring creative ways to merge storytelling, sound, and production,” said Amy Presley, FM90 faculty adviser and Amarillo College mass media instructor. “Night Breeze captures that spirit perfectly—it’s imaginative, nostalgic, and completely student-driven.”

Night Breeze will air on FM90(89.9 FM) and will also stream online at kacvfm.org. Banner will also serve as DJ Electric Evan at AC’s Pumpkin Patch slated for Oct. 30.
