No. I think the car dealer got drunk and passed out on the lot. His
salesman PUT that elephant on the car dealer's chest when he was passed out.

Salesmen get their fun where they can find it. I don't imagine it to be
an easy life. We'll have to ask dxAce....

I once stumbled across a website about a Berkeley Parade.I just now did
a search for it and I saw, www.howberkeleycanyoube.com

Just pointing out that I doubt there will ever be any shortage of people
over there in that area who won't stay tuned in to that radio stations
''new format''.

Some of those new car salesmen (women too) and used car salesmen are
pretty good.I have no problem with watching them on tv.

Who'd advertize there ?

It is a stunt, designed to run a few days while the real format is being
readied. It is like doing a heartbeat for all weekend, or playing the same
song over and over... also attention getters used to announce that what was
there is gone and a new format is coming.

We do not sell ads on stunting days.

Exactly. I'm wondering if this format change indicates a trend. Are the
religion based stations losing people to the extent they are no longer
able to attract advertisers or contributors?

Stunting prior to a new format is and has been the norm for 5 decades of US
radio. Stunts run a few days to a week or so, but are usually not as
creative as this... often they are the songs of construction work (saws and
hammers) or a heartbeat or a clock counting down. Or the favorite, play the
same song over and over for days.

It's a sad state of affairs that the new owners think a tasteless approach
will increase income.

It is a stunt, not intended to create income. It is intended to get
publicity. Which it did.

David Eduardo is probably right when he says there will be another change
once the initial 'excitement' is over.

Yeah, in a couple of more days.

It's all publicity.

Correct. It is not a format, it is not intended to be listened to. It is
intended to garner attention.

That is like asking Dr. Kevorkian about the latest advances in geriatric
medicine.

...true...

Mind you, I've heard Kevorkian is like Mother Theresa in comparison to
the Ace.
