"Punk Country" and Tommarow radio

R

ruger22com

Anybody remember the "tommarow Radio" parady that TM Productions handed out on an LP at an R&R convention back in the 70's. One side had a jingle package, and the other side had the parady, where radio of the future was spotlighted...with things like: All Kiddie radio, Hourly Arbitrons, computer automation with voice tracking so stations only had one employee, cluster ownership, etc.
What is scary is that even though this was produced as a "joke" for programmers of the day, 99% of what was on that parady ACTUALLY CAME TRUE AND EXISTS TODAY! (except maybe for the "Punk Country" format).

Thought the old timers would appreciate this!
 
Reading your statement brought back a flashback to a old WKRP episode ""Bah Humbug" where The Big Guy is shown by Johnny the future of radio with Herb (the salesman) checking in from time to time on the automated station... this was 1980 folks... Kind of scary it has basically come true
