Default WQMA OldiesRadio 1520 Radio Station Plans 8-Track Thursday Feature

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.

WQMA OldiesRadio 1520 plays 15 to 20 song commercial free music
marathons weekday afternoons after the Steve & DC Morning Show. The
station also features the best national oldies programming all weekend
long with Dick Bartley, Mike Harvey, Casey Kasem, Dr. Demento, Ross
Brittian, and more.

What part of "listen online" are you having trouble with?
You are such an idiot.

Sounds old and slow and subject to lots of downtime, like your dick.

It has nothing to do with CPU speed, everything to do with net
connection speed. If you're on dail-up, any web cast is dicey at
best.

You couldn't get anything, anyway, Noodles. You just don't "get it,"
period!

I'll take a pass on an "8 track Thursday." Why do I want to hear
badly recorded music failing on the air when I can have it live?
