Super Q

[OldSchoolWoman]

Any theories as to why WLTJ is up?

 

[corporateradiosucks]

Sadomasochism?

Hearing loss?

Rubbernecking the car crash factor?

No theories here, but when I saw the title of this thread a flash back to the Last Q Formatdemo made by Howard Hoffmancame to mind. ;D

"The Super Q Doubles the musickkkkkkk!" ;D

"The Super Q Doubles the musickkkkkkk!" ;D

There's a concept for you. On FM Stereo, play one song on the right channel and a different song on the left channel. You've just doubled your music.

Don't laugh...I knew of a station owner in Indiana (the state) who ran two high school football games simultaneously on his FM standalone. One game in the left channel,
and the second in the right channel. I don't know how he did it or how it would affect people with mono FM radios.

But I guess he doubled his revenue those days.

OK, I want to know if I'm the only one. When you hear those ads for "Studio Q" (aka disco night) does anyone else envision Quagmire on Family Guy doing his "Midnight Q" cable access show?? That's all I can picture, ha ha.

Re using both channels for two songs: I heard a story about Buzz Bennett (once of 13Q) walking into the studio at KDWB Minneapolis one day (he was PD), getting behind the mic and saying "We are going to make radio history by condensing 8 minutes of commercials into one minute of airtime!" He then proceeded to fire commercials in all eight cart machines at once, all pots up.

Buzz is also famous for having KDWB jocks DELIBERATELY talk PAST the posts one day, stepping all over the vocals, to prove a point. As he predicted, no one called to complain.

He also taught them the correct emphasis of the KDWB call letters by using a sword.
