It's a shame that even though they've had to adjust their playlist to fit their target sales demos that they can't in someway hold onto the Drake/Chenault sound that made them famous.

I did some part-time small-market work in the early 90s, with carts, and CDs in these sleeves that kept us clumsy DJs from scratching them all to heck, and a reel-to-reel for recording calls. Then about six years ago I was eyeing a part-time gig in a much larger market. I got as far as talking to the PD at the station, and was blown away by how everything was on hard drives. There was even this slick little bit of software that showed waveforms of phone calls and all I had to do was drag across the part I wanted to air.Jimhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.com
