robotic countdown stunting

R

Robert Bass

In the early to mid 90s, there was a station in Dallas with the calls KRSR. Eventually the station changed formats and call letters to KYNG. Between the flip, they had this robotic voice counting down to the format change. I've heard this exact same robotic countdown has been used for other station stunting as well. My question is, how did this robotic voice thing work? When I first heard it, my guess was some cheap voice synth software running in real-time on a DOS or early Windows platform computer. Someone else told me he thought it was recorded on reels and required a board op to babysit the whole thing. Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks,

R
