It was unusual in that no program material was ever received; only the ID was heard, specifically by the legendary George Zeller. The ID consisted of a cat meowing, followed by the sound of a car skidding out of control, and subsequently crashing.

Update: During the summer of 2008 Dead Cat Radio returned to 6925 kHz USB with feline oriented themes, including readings from The Man-Eaters of Tsavo, cartoon theme songs and SSTV images from Felix the Cat and Top Cat, and a smarmy blend of pop music that belies an unnatural preoccupation with the Go-Go's. Signature male and female voice ID's, "meow" sounds, Elmer Fudd singing "Kill da wabbit!" to the tune of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries".
