I see posts early in the morning, morning, afternoon, evening. Not that I'm complaining, I wish I could do that.:)

I have very strange work hours caused by clients in odd time zones. The worst was when I was dealing with a new FM in Pakistan and some research projects in the Emirates.

And, besides that, as a co-moderator with Frank, I check in regularly just to see what is going on (or "off").

Maybe between about 3:00 and 6:00 a.m. on Sundays. That was about the DEADEST shift that I EVER worked!

Ah, that is precisely when I'd do transmitter maintenance of my stations when I owned a bunch of 'em in Ecuador. To late to party, too early for Sunday Mass. Perfect time to make sure the transmitters were clean and healthy!

I remember that overnight Saturday/Sunday shift at a Classic Rocker with some currents. You had the drunks calling in until 2am or so until they passed out, with some very late partiers after that.

After about 2 AM you also got the "ladies" who could not get dates that night, confirming the statement that "the sexier the voice, the uglier they are".

I did not have that option.

I LEFT a station because the then-GM was delusional about the fact that we had NO listeners during that time. This was a rinky-dink AM station that was probably once a great station. But I must have been right. Less than a year after I left, they became a talk station. So my remaining shifts would have been eliminated anyway.

This was a 50000 watt Class B in a medium market with a promotional budget. We did have listeners

Fully understood. I later worked overnights for 10 years in shortwave. We had plenty of listeners, too!

I knew a guy named Mike who used to have a show overnights from Guam (it was called "Night Beat"). You wouldn't be him would ya?

I thought those ladies had "radio voices".

I did meet one exception who was pretty nice, nice looking and was driving home late from South Bend, IN to a county north of Lafayette because she was doing a direct sales party plan thing. She'd always request "In Your Eyes", and this was around the time my first marriage was breaking up. It never went anywhere but we did hang out a little bit.

Partying all night then showing up for Mass might piss off the priest a little!
Better throw a 50 in the collection just to be safe 😉
