3. I have a question about your radio broadcast. I live in Richmond Virginia and drive to Durham North Carolina on a regular basis. When making this trip I have noticed that the station in Durham is on a several minute delay, and I was wondering why that is. It's very strange to hear a contest or a skit, and then to switch stations to hear it all over again.

We provide the show to affiliates in three flavors, Rock, Country and Oldies (60's & 70's)...The timing issue allows us to accomodate the multiple musical formats our affiliates have demanded... The time shift is designed to float between 1 second and up to 3 minutes, we strive to keep the delay on the minimum side of that window, but occassionally it floats a little long...

4. Is the new video tape for sale at places like Kmart? or will it be in the future?
