There used to be a one-man radio station in Gloucester, MA,
WVCA ("Voice of Cape Ann") which played classical music
and its sole employee was owner Simon Geller, who didn't
exactly have the most professional voice. It was in his
apartment above a laundromat (though was 3,000 watts or so).

"I'm going to have to shut down now so I can go shopping..."
These days it's a professional-sounding oldies/adult
contemporary station (plus Red Sox baseball), WBOQ.
(Geller sold it and passed on some years later.)

There used to be stations like this all over the place until the Clear Channels of the industry turned it into "McRadio"...and we're lesser off because of it.
