DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODY!

Still raining here, temps are dropping and we are expecting a "burst of snow" tomorrow morning,,,,,anyone care to define a "burst of snow"? - We'll probably get a damn foot of snow!

Listening to KCMO, what is up with these stations that play two ads simultaneously? I don't get it, it happens on every station I listen to, anyone know anything about radio? Producer, engineer? can't get the timing right? Hard to get good help these days!

Reality is there might not be ANY help these days.

Radio, like many other industries is going automated. Bean counters figure why pay salaries and benefits when you can get machines to do it without complaining.

I was once told where I live there are few if any physical human beings after the morning drive program at the Clear Channel station where Savage is broadcast from (KSTE 650.) They called it the Ethan Drive ghost town, since that's the street they're located. I've driven by there after 10AM, and by 3PM when Savage starts, the parking lot is definitely more empty.

A lot is preprogrammed, the announcer saying the time sounds live, yet it's all triggered by computer. You definitely hear the flubs at times, especially when a local ad steps on top of a national ad and nobody's there to turn down the pot.
