Are you kidding me?

I happened to have K-104 on briefly yesterday and heard what I guess was their "official contest rules" promo.

While it may have fulfilled any FCC regulation, it was totally-and I mean TOTALLY-unintelligible because it was sped up to the max within Adobe Audition or whatever digital recording program they have in house.

Are the inmates running the Asylum over at the CBS cluster? Or, is this yet another brilliant piece of programming

The lawyers are running the Asylum. They are meeting the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law. It's like the automobile tv spots with disclaimers so small and on for such a short time that it's impossible to read without "freezing" the picture. Of course most of us don't care about the small print anyway until after signing the contract and then realizing what a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into. If you complain, they will tell you they disclosed the details on the commercial and there's nothing you can do about it.
 
Understood...but this was positively undecipherable. And it had to be a tune-out - non-business listeners must have thought something was wrong with their radios.

Not likely to happen, but if the use of this piece of audio were challenged, the best broadcast attorney in Washington would find it difficult to defend before the FCC.
