(KIOL/W&J) Today I realized...

...that I can't remember the last time I heard a paid advertisement on the Walton & Johnson show.
During the breaks, they play either music, parody bits, or "best of" snippets.

The other morning, Walton took a shot at the KIOL sales staff, saying they could only sell to "titty bars and head shops". Is the show struggling that bad, where they can't sell time to *anyone*?

Same thing on the 101.3 affiliate in Lake Charles...they usually play music or do news during breaks on 103.7....yesterday, I noticed the HD was off on 103.7...101.3 was actually BEHIND 103.7 by a second...this due to the ISDN feed they are using from what I have been told. Normally, KKGB is ahead by 8 secs or so.

KIOL seems to be selling ads quite well. Unless they are giving away airtime in the afternoons and evenings.
Sadly, I am unable to listen to their morning show any longer than 3-5 seconds before the evil XM receiver just takes control of my audio system. Afraid to anger the XM as it may fry my electrical system, again.
W&J are great. I just have some sort of sickness (the XM is listening).

Yeah, I caught the 0600 TOH for 3 spots the morning of the 3rd as well.
 
Thursday was their 23rd Anniversary show. So along with the regular stuff they played some older bits and songs people haven't heard in a few months. They've been having problems with their system too. Apparently the staff messed something up and Monday's show didn't go out to the affiliates. Something else went on the fritz Tuesday that caused the whole show to not be recorded.
