Mark Goodman
Monday - Thursday 6 am -10 am ET & 7 pm - 9 pm ET Fridays 6 am -10 am ET Saturdays 7 pm - 9 pm ET
Mark Goodman DJs on a number of SIRIUS channels, including Big '80s and Classic Rewind… but admits that he is more nostalgic for vinyl than cassettes. Still, as an original MTV VJ, the '80s were very good to Mark… and these days, he points out that MTV had some flaws: "It allowed some pretty awful music to become popular." We forgive you, Mark!
Nina Blackwood
Weekdays 1 pm - 4 pm ET Saturdays 2 pm - 7 pm ET Sundays 4 pm - 8 pm ET
Nina Blackwood has enjoyed a great career in radio and television, providing music reports for Entertainment Tonight and co-hosting Solid Gold. She had a great time in the '80s, and, like most of us who remember the decade, was guilty of a fashion faux pas or two. The worst? "I had a jacket that could be folded up into a purse."
Alan Hunter
Monday - Thursday 4 - 7 pm ET & 1 am - 3 am ET Friday 4 - 7 pm ET & 12 am - 2am Saturdays 12 am - 2 am & 9 pm - 12 am ET Sundays 12 pm - 4 pm ET
On the topic of "boxers or briefs," Alan Hunter is quick to weigh in: "Bikini briefs. Specifically, Jockey Elance, in different colors. The only constant in my life for the last 25 years." Alan sometimes ponders things other than his underwear: he and his brother Hugh run Hunter Films, an independent film company. Alan co-owns the entertainment complex WorkPlay in Birmingham, AL.
Martha Quinn
Monday - Thursday 10 am - 1 pm ET Fridays 10 am - 1 pm ET & 7 pm - 9 pm ET
Original MTV VJ Martha Quinn brings her love of '80s music to SIRIUS|XM listeners. Martha gets back in the studio and back to a time when "M" stood for music, playing the songs that defined a decade, and bringing her own personal perspective on the biggest pop and rock artists that she experienced firsthand.
Big 40 Countdown

Each week join Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn as they count down the Big 40 hits of that week in a particular year from the decade of "excess"!
It's the big '80s! The decade when greed was good, hair was high and everyone learned what a music video was. Prince, Wham!, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper and Culture Club! They're all here and so are the original MTV VJs.
