Bummed Out

A memory from the last station I worked at (in-house anyway).

I was blown out shortly before the station flipped formats. I remember when they finally flipped, because I spotted a noticeable change around town. In a metro area of millions, that's really saying something.

I was in the car with the woman I was dating at the time. As we pulled onto the freeway, I saw something peculiar. A few miles later, I saw it again... and then again. And again!

In a metro area of millions, suddenly, the station was everywhere.

I don't know who did it... maybe it was the cluster's marketing director, or maybe one of the staffers who'd been blown out...? All I know is that somebody must have taken all of the apparel from the defunct station and dropped it off at a city mission.

Bums everywhere were sporting logo for a station that no longer existed.

Finally, the station was everywhere.
Everywhere but on the air, that is...
