Being a Tacoma native, I'm with you on CITNW. Fun tune but thank goodness the music only comes around once a year. I wonder if I have an MP3 of that song around.... Happy New Year!

I do like Robert Lund's 12 Utah Christmases! So funny! I guess there are multiple versions floating around. Some of it is a little dated now, but still just good fun!
Merry Christmas, folks!

Ehh.. I'll keep an eye on things. I had a malware issue on another system of mine. That was fun. That could have been it. Other than it popping up only on these proboards sites.

I noticed this just today 12/13, that proboards is now providing po-up advertisements for our holiday enjoyment! I'm guessing no forum operators are getting any kick-back from this additional advertising. I don't mind the banner ads so much, but pop-ups are just downright aggravating and my browser doesn't always block it.
Can anything be done?

I have to wonder what the dog is doing with the papers. Building a nest? Wallpapering the doghouse? Maybe we need an in depth investigation. Or maybe not. GET GEPHARDT!

Well, I am not blaming Timmy Update: I staked out my building from 4:30 this morning and found that the neighborhood dog is stealing my papers. Haha! That reminds me of that scene in Phenomenon where John Travolta is trying to figure out what is eating his veggies and does the whole free-the-rabbit move.

Psst! Don't tell anyone at DN, but I'm still getting their paper, every day, completely FREE! I've called them a number of times to let them know. They say they'll tell their delivery person. I can't say I'm willing to keep calling them. Although, they call me to encourage me to re-up with them and I can't justify spending money on something I already get for free. Anyway... back to this compelling newspaper discussion, already in progress....

Straight reads, meaning dry. No music or SFX. Just the DJ talking, like a live read, only pre-recorded.

Just to add to my previous comment. I also think it's more effective when a DJ does a straight read of an ad, even though it's recorded. If it plays in a stop-set during his shift, like in the 2nd or 3rd spot, it sounds more real. We all know it's canned, but since there's no swooshes and jingly music, it feels like he's really reading it.

Just one point to make... I really think that live-read ads are very effective. Especially on a music station. A lot of times you're there to hear your fave DJ as well as the tunes. But if your Fave DJ starts casually talking about a product or place, especially in a non-stop set, it makes it feel less commercial and more natural and real. If stations could throw in a couple live-read ads an hour for those best ad-buyers for what CA said about something new or rarely needed, they would make more headway in getting people in the door.

So there's no local music storage? It's all T1'd to the Prophet systems locally? Talk about margin of error! Don't get me wrong networking, in general, has become very robust and reliable, but to rely on a network/sat connection for multiple stations? Tell me I'm not reading this correctly, tell me Cincy just sends out a hard drive they slap in their station's music server. Tell me.
