Hopefully it can at least get into rotation during the "local bands show" every Sunday night at 10 pm. It looks like that would be the only hour where the DJ actually has any say as to what is played on the air. Gotta love Clear Channel :sigh::rolleyes:

I dug the reference to the Sea Grape in Fairfield... I don\'t remember which voice said it was his favorite bar. I live across the street from said establishment.

That sucks to be a DJ and not even be albe to pick the songs you play...

Not only do DJs not get to pick what they play, they usually don\'t even get to hear wheat they DO play.

WPLR uses The Prophet system. many of the shows are taped in advance. The DJ announces the record, and then does whatever comes after the record. The computer later inserts the music. This means that a 4 hour show is done in 2 hours. They only pay you for that....

The world gets better every day.

Added to the list of the 1001 reasons why I don\'t listen to the radio.
