"10:15 P.M. The WOR news and weather are out of the way. A bugle sounds, and a sprightly theme song comes trotting on the air. The theme has a double meaning: it is the one that calls the horses to the gate at Aqueduct, and it is the Bahnfrei Overture, composed for an operetta by Eduard Strauss, the only member of the Strauss family who did not make good."

I always thought it reminded me of a circus or
racetrack... maybe something Shep said eons ago.

WKAT in Miami Beach used to play 5 shows in a row after
midnight Saturdays ("Jean Shepherd's Saturday Night,
which is really Sunday Morning"). I would listen on my
way home from dates or singles dances... and then 'til
I fell asleep.

Thirty years later, after having Spanish, brokered,
and classical formats, WKAT is talk once again. But
it's Salem, not the great local talk we once had.
