Radio 1990 was a thirty-minute program during primetime that ran on weekdays on USA network. A lot of the things seen on Night Flight were also shown on Radio 1990 like music videos and musician interviews. The program ran somewhere in the 1982 to 1986 time frame and was hosted by Lisa Robinson and Kathryn Kinley. Apparently Lisa Robinson was the original host and then became an interviewer/reporter after Kathryn Kinley was brought in.

The show also had musical guests help host the show and in August of 1985, Paul Stanley of KISS fame, was a co-host for an entire week.
