They're just stunting for a format change.

Some guy in Cincinnati (I think) did this with a Billy Squier song in the 80's.

We should get the opinion of another DJ. If only there was one on the entertainment board who started his own thread to give random life updates that nobody asked for.

If the station was really smart, they would mix in "Bulls on Parade" every 7th song so that people would think it was changing…

The purported takeover yesterday of KTFM 102.7 FM resulted in San Antonio police arriving at the station's headquarters and advertisers threatening to pull their spots.

DJ in College Station did this circa '88/89 with 'Welcome To The Jungle'. He came on between loops and claimed that he'd locked himself in the studio and management was pissed and banging on the door etc.

Turned out to be a stunt.

Back in the mid-80s when 98.9 started in Shreveport, they played "They're Coming to Take Me Away" for about a week before they ever said a word.

If I owned a radio station, I would play Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experience" every Saturday night at midnight for no particular reason.

But what if, after the 7th time, they played "It's not unusual"?

If you did it every Saturday night at midnight, there would be a reason. A particular reason.

I'm seeing RATM next week. I expect they will play a lot of different songs just one time each, but this thread has me wondering now.

Never knew there were so many people did Louie Louie. Does this confirm me as an old?

Around 2000, there was an indie station in Memphis that played a really solid mix of alternative rock. I drove thru there often and enjoyed the mix.

Went thru there on April Fools Day and they were playing nothing but tejano/latin music... no english from the deejays.

They switched back the following day but it wasn't long after the station went away.

I was in radio for many years. Once stunted a station with nothing but song "hooks" from a music testing library. "Only playing the best parts of your favorite songs."
