Hi all,
Beginning in about two weeks, we're going to start an "8-Track
Thursday" feature on the radio during the JASON AND JENNIFER IN THE
AFTERNOON show from 1-4pm. I approached this group with this idea it
seems like years ago. Well the station is finally headed in a positive
direction and we're adding several of our ideas in the coming weeks.
On Thursday afternoons, we plan to disconnect the CD players, turn off
the computers, and hook some 8-track players up to our consoles and
go.
Yes, tapes will break or get eaten live on-air.
Yes, songs will be interrupted on-air in two parts with a changing of
the track.
Those are 8-track memories that people who have long thrown away their
8-track player will be able to fondly remember with us in-studio.
We need your help:
Anyone wanting to donate 8-track players or 8-tracks will be
appreciated on-air. We already have one player and approximately 100
tapes but we definitely need more tapes and players to continue the
feature on a regular basis. Have an 8-track related business? Let us
promote you on our website and on-the-air during the show in exchange
for your 8-track related gift! Advertising usually ranges from
$60-$600 per month.
If you give us a tape, we WILL play something from it! And give you an
on-air mention.
Please send any and all 8-track related items to:
WQMA
1820 West Marks Road
Marks, MS 38646
Please give us something worthy of airplay. Something that others in
the 8-track world will appreciate hearing. But you can get rid of your
common unwanted duplicate tapes too!
We hope you join us Thursday afternoons online at
http://www.q1520radio.com
We are the only radio station that intends to celebrate and appreciate
the 8-track community.
