The 2016 "All Christmas" format Pool

Staff got paid check or direct deposit, your choice.

Was this a one person operation? I wasn't questioning payment type. Where is the funds come from to pay employees? Unless you owned the the station free and clear, sold the commercials your self, and had free rent it would hard to run a station on 3 or $4 k a month.

Nor did anyone. 3 - 4K per month was the electric bill per transmitter plant. It was/is a 60+ station group.

So I listened to WSTR HD2 for 20 minutes and now have my Christmas fix. Who will be the first to play beach music?

I understand now what you meant. Not enough coffee. I been covering for a trader who covers the BSE and the SET, so my sleep schedule is messed up.


I still believe if you are worrying about being able the power bill in any market, you have bigger issues.

On a semi-unrelated thought …

… my wife and I just heard a few minutes ago on Pandora "RUN RUN REINDEER by the Beach Boys and it brought back wonderful pleasureable memories of 1965-1967 when I and another friend would go to a third friend's house and "broadcast" on his little backyard AM station in Decatur. We called them our "Christmas Spectacular" broadcasts. Played contemporary Top 40 and seasonal Top 40 hits from sundown Friday nights to afternoon Saturdays. Purloined wire copy from a station in Deactur where my friend worked so we had newscasts and sportscasts through the broadcasts. We used 680 which was vacant then.

One of the funniest "bloopers" we had was my reading a golf story about the "Houston Opal Garf Tournament" in 1965.

Those were the days, my friend, those were the days …
