Rosco Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) The latest recipe for success in broadcast radio? Dump a thousand or so random songs into a playlist. Hit shuffle. Then, more often than not, kill the live DJ and replace him with a computer. The stations' monikers are common male names, like "Bob," "Ben," "Hank," and most commonly, "Jack." And Jack stations often (but not always) use a smart-alecky recorded voice, rather than a live DJ, to make short quips between songs. read on ← I knew this sounded familiar... Anyone remember that episode of The Simpsons where incompetent breakfast show DJs Bill and Marty are threatened with being replaced by the DJ3000? Radio station boss: It plays CDs automatically and it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter (Presses 'inane chatter' button on DJ3000) DJ3000: Hey, hey, how about that weather out there? Woah! That was the caller from hell! Bill: Wow, that thing's great! Marty: Don't praise the machine... DJ3000: Looks like those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns. Bill: How does it keep up with the news like that? Edited July 1, 2005 by Rosco Quote
