New board idea

[CAwasinNJ]

I've had this idea I've been kicking around for a while that I've gotten to thinking more about since the discussion about the future of 94.9 and 107.5. That is, a false rumor board designed for humor. It would be a place to make up things that you "heard" are going to happen.

Example: I heard Bonneville is selling KSL(AM) to the US Government. The govt is going to turn it into a relay of the time shortwave station WWV so everyone has a chance to receive it.

What do you think?

I like it. If you can make radio seem funny, more power to you! I'd like to see a bit of radio humor around.

Just as long as no one thinks we are constantly picking on them!

I think that makes 2.75 yes votes.

Anyone have any negative reaction to the idea?

It could be fun. Could be tough competing with the absurd which really happened in radio.

True, true.

I'll set up the new board Real Soon Now.

Let's dooooo it!!!!!!!!

It's done. And with the first post the idea has already been expanded beyond my original idea. I hadn't thought of putting it in a 'news' type format. The name has been tweaked accordingly. Thanks utradioguide.

(This is the kind of thing I like. By providing a loose framework instead of a tight one, the users get to mold and shape the board and make it better than I could do alone.)

There are some media savvy techies that could throw together some hilarious spoofs and upload them to youtube.


lately I am feeling too intellectually challenged
