PROOF THAT RADIO DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DEAD
This is one of my all-time favorite station promos.
If it doesn't make you smile, that's okay. Just means it doesn't fit your taste or sensibility.
But if it does make you smile — or, as I do, respond with awe at its brave creativity — a reminder: The people who did this 40 – 50 years ago didn't have 1/10 of the production tools available to you today.
All they had was an idea. And a "what if...?" And the desire to find out.

Brilliant. What an idea -- thanks for the laugh, Dan.
I love old radio production like that! Truly imaginative. Fun!
Astounding! This sounds like the sort of thing Steve Allen used to do in his radio days. What a hoot. And it's just as intelligible as the promos I hear on half the SF stations these days...
Thanks...reminders like this cause me to have some hope for the future of radio.
At the risk of sounding like I don't get it...
...I don't get it...
