Might We Now See Two Greater Media Stations Change Formats??

Low cost; I think they had an employee named "Dell"...though someone had to program the songs in!

You sure it was named Dell and not Hewlett-Packard??? ;) (From an employee of an HP partner...)
 
Was almost going to say that!
(my first comp., early 98, was a Packard-Bell...now part of Acer though Wiki. says "Despite the similarity of their names, there has never been any corporate connection between the original or later Packard Bell and Hewlett Packard, Bell & Howell, Bell Aircraft, or Bell System.")

My first was a Packard Bell rebranded as NEC, in late 1999. NEC got out of the consumer PC business shortly after that; I never realized the Packard Bell lineage lives on through Acer. PB didn't have the greatest reputation, but my NEC GT100 gave me eight years of trouble-free, sturdy basic service.

Packard Bell is a name too tarnished to be sold in this part of the world. I believe they are only sold in Europe. Acer owns a few other brands, Gateway and eMachines come to mind.

Speaking of of a Dell computer the first radio station I ever worked at had an automation macine powered by a Tandy computer.
