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

[Bailey, Scott]

Paul,
   I get that all the time. I have found that these folks find your
number in the phone book and call you and are not listeners of the
station.

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!
