I've never worked "on air", and have always been curious about the desire,
(need?) to have phones levels up so high. I've worked at some stations where
phones were not used at all, and the on-air presentation was great. The guy
sounded comfortable with himself and his audience. It was like we were
sitting in the den having a conversation over brandy and a cigar. This guy
was really good. New ownership, new staff.....rats.
