This morning, I was listening to a local rock station at around 4am, trying to sleep. I remember hearing a song and thinking "Hmm... this sounds an awful lot like Brother Cane" and then remembering "Wait... I thought the exact same thing yesterday morning, at the same time."
A few more songs went by, and a John Mellancamp song came on. When it was over, the DJ said "That was John Cougar Mellancamp, but I know that they used to call him 'Little Johnny Cougar'". I thought, wait a minute... he said the EXACT same thing yesterday morning about that song!
So I'm curious if it's possible that a smaller market rock station would replay a few hours from the day before if they had no DJ to fill the spot. Or, maybe they were just running off the same playlist? I know the station has the ability to put it on auto-pilot if no one can fill in. Where's Matty Fridays, Radio Expert when you need him?
Also, I know that the DJ who was on the air reads this board...
