"Help Hurricane Victims" (9FM)

[Rocketman]

Board readers:

This is for a good cause and I made the post "sticky" that Rocketman posted, so it is read by all that visit the board.

Besides contributing, please focus a few moments per day within your self, for the victims, and passed on, in this horrible act of nature. As Americans we will prevail, united.

Thank you and have a great day.

Ladies and Gents:

Here is an opportunity for people who want to hear their favorite songs to be a mini-PD for a day. You hear all these people saying that they want to hear this song or that song, or why don't we have this kind of format on in this market, etc., so kindly put your money where your mouth is. It's for a GREAT cause that will unite us in a time of desperate need. If there is something popular or obscure that you want to hear, call in and make a request. It won't hurt you to do so and it may actually give NINE-FM a better idea of who's listening to them and what the audience wants to hear.

This is just a fantastic grass-roots effort on behalf of Matt DuBiel. Truly a young and motivated programmer that's willing to bend the rules for a worthy cause! This makes for GREAT radio, especially for us geeks!<P ID="signature">______________

Well that sounds like a lot better programming attitude than this...

(From Radio World Online)

Dahl Joked About Tragedy; But He's Also Fundraising

Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that host Steve Dahl was "mining the tragedy for comedy" on WCKG(FM). It quoted Dahl earlier this week as "he mused about creating a drink inspired by reports of 'floating corpses' in New Orleans."

The paper also noted Dahl's Web log, which states, "I have sent away for five pounds of Chocolate Babies to act as 'floaters' in the new drink I'll be inventing this week: The Floating Corpse. ... I'm thinking Creme de Cacao, Kahlua, some rum, maybe a little cream and a floating Chocolate Baby."

Dahl wrote that the comment was not meant to be racist. After the newspaper report appeared, he wrote on his blog the next day, "BTW: I meant floating corpses from coffins, not the people killed in the storm."

Dahl's Web site today opens to a pitch for donations to the American Red Cross and includes an essay from another blogger calling for donations.
