Call Chad Wilkinson!

My last semester at MSU I had a night class on Mondays. I would leave Starkville around 9.30, and thanks to SuperTalk Mississippi being on 5 different stations in the area, I was able to listen to a clear signal all the way home. (100.9 West Point when I left Starkville, 96.9 Greenville when I got to Eupora, and 105.5 around Walthall.) From 9pm-12 midnight the Lars Larson show would come on, which I didn't really like but couldn't not listen to. (hey, it's no Coast to Coast AM) Well, about 10pm every Monday night I would still be listening to 100.9. Apparently after 9pm or so, no one is at the station to air commercial breaks or they don't program automation to do it. Consequently, there would be 2 minutes of dead air or repeated PSA's. Well, b/c there was no one to cover up the satellite feed, every night at 10pm the Lars Larson show would send a Promo feed. It was just a repeated 15 second Lars Larson recap of the day's events, set to about 4 different music tracks. So it was interesting to hear the promo feed and what goes on 'behind the scenes.'

Well, after the feeds, a guy would come on and say "That concludes tonight's promo feed, I'm Chad Wilkinson. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (202) 457-1770, and have a great evening."

So, anyone want to give Chad a ring? He sounds pretty cool...maybe he likes Star Wars.
