Ditzy radio listeners (Re: [BC] TV news)

[Radiofldude@aol.com]

I've dealt with stupidity, but on the side of radio listeners. 
 
I once had a lady call at 9pm at night, looking for the number to that  
"102.1 FM radio station in Sardis". This is while i was at WQMA, a DAYTIMER.  When 
i gave her the number and address, she said, "Oh, isn't it in that other  
town". Licensed to Sardis, but in nearby Senatobia.
 
The one time.. around 12midnight.. i got a phone call at WQMA and being the  
nice person, i answered it since it was a local number. The lady wanted me to  
help her idenity a song. After about 2 or 3 minutes of going ack n forth and  
figuring out what genre of music it was and etc, i asked "Where did you hear  
this song?" and she replied, "Oh, it's on 93.7 FM right now"
 
Another time.. I got a call around 9pm asking me to play a song.. over 2  
hours after we signed off. After another go around with this perosn, I figured  
out it was a gospel song and told her to call back between 7/10am Weekdays or  
7am/12noon Sunday and theyd play her song. Guess who called back 2 nights 
later?  You guessed it... same lady.
 
Keep in mind.. all these calls came well after WQMA had signed  off!
