They don't write TV theme songs like they used to...
And 100.7 FM (Supertalk, nee WFNR) is proving it. The last half hour has been nothing but classic TV themes, along with an exhortation to tune in Friday (presumably today) at 5:00 pm for "something different and new!"
Can you say "Format Change," Jody?
Gotta go, the "Diff'rent Strokes" theme is on!
Update:
Rather than truly misrepresent myself, perhaps this is just an extended programming change, rather than a wholesale format change.
Commercial coverage picked up at 9:00, which had suggested at first that it was only Imus had been pre-empted. After 10 minutes of commercials and no ABC news, it became clear that Beck was "taking the day off" as well. The theme from "Friends," and a double serving of "The Flintstones" theme has confirmed such.
In reality, I hadn't figured that the days of Demolition Man radio would be upon us so quickly...
Mid-Update Update:
They just announced that the talk had moved to 101.7. Perhaps I was the only person in the New River Valley who didn't know. Thanks guys.
Bonus Personally Humorous Story
Bringing the human touch to PolySciFi. Lord knows I'm having to pick up the slack in the wake of all the "Roving" that's been going on.
Thursday is trash day in the Jweatt household. And as the only bipedal member of the household with opposable thumbs, the responsibility falls to me.
So I delivered my trash can to the curbside, and happened to see a pizza box from some pizzeria in upstate New York. Prominently featured on the box were the words "We Deliver."
"You sure do!" I thought, and went back into the house.
Anyway, I'm going to see what's on talk, and then maybe go back to the TV theme songs. We'll have to see.
