"The King Biscuit Flower Hour" was a 60-minute, weekly national radio show that was broadcast on radio stations in the US who paid for the subscription. These shows feature portions of professionally recorded concerts, as well as national commercials.

Each show was mailed with cue sheets with the CDs placed in D.I.R. paper sleeves. These were not issued with traditional CD cases.

The cue sheets list the contents, commercials and duration for each segment for the DJ to be able to properly cue up and end each segment during the broadcast. (see photos)

These were available only to radio stations who subscribed to D.I.R. and were not sold in stores.
