Hey, I just tuned in. Pretty cool! I think I'll make a tape of it.
A voice just came on that said "You are witnessing the actual birth
of a radio station. What you hear will continue tomorrow and a
thousand tomorrows after that. 98.1 KBGG"
Funny, my friend and I would always make fun of the call letters when
we listened to the station before (they called it K-BIG) - "It's REALLY
big. Big 98.1", "I can't fit THAT in my ear. Big 98.1", "The biggesthits
in your face. K-BIG." Um. Anyway. =)
This station stunt reminds me of the time another station played the beginning
15 seconds of "2 legit to quit" OVER and OVER. At least the 98.1 thing
sounds good... Oh, and thanks for the tip.
