This afternoon between 1:55-2:25pm on KMVP 860 I was stunned to hear the God Show with Pat McBland. Now, I'm sure you're wondering why I was even listening to the normal promo loop... I was out at lunch listening on my walkman, tuned by and heard something other than "SET YOUR RADIO NOW...", so I listened in amazement as I heard much of the God show (apparently being edited together on the computer used to run the promo loop for 860).
The embarrassment doesn't stop there: At around 2:15pm, I heard Jay W. Cox editing together a news item regarding goings on in the house, "shame shame"... he was apparently having trouble piecing this riveting item together as he had to re-record elements several times into Audition. All the while putting on the phony news voices that many radio personalities feel is needed to deliver news--ex: dragging out the last syllable of every other word and the last word in each sentence, etc. Of course, much like anyone piecing something like this together, he made a few mistakes and the words "oh sh*t" were uttered over the loop's normally very hard to hear airwaves. Fortunately, he was able to finish his piece before the 2:30pm news... I assume that's where it will begin it's rotation, although I am certainly not sure of that.
What market are we living in again? We have a radio frequency is occasionally hi-jacked so that the news staffers can utilize that extra PC for their production duties. I'm amused, perplexed and laughing again at the ineptitude of TMISU, although I could have sworn that station was sold... boy, I wonder what the next ownership group will do with it... maybe we'll get to hear some commercials being cut on the air! I must admit it was far more fascinating than Pat McMahon.
