Don't Touch That Dial! Come Back And Smile!

Post by Ben Zonia » Tue Sep 05, 2023 3:00 pm

"Don't Touch That Dial! Come Back And Smile!"

Does anyone know who used to say that on Flint Radio? It would most likely have been Ted Johnson. Or was that commonly used in many markets and stations?

Raise your hand if you assumed, and were relieved this wasn't, a thread about the god squad wasting ANOTHER frequency.

Back in 1990 & 1991, former 1400 AM WSAM (when it was an oldies station till January 1992) used that for "The Top 7 Songs At 7" 7:00 at night (Monday thru Friday) for the week & year!! The old man says "Hey, hey, hey, Don't touch that dial"!!

I believe that even God himself is saddened when one of his squad members takes over a station. He gave us these stations so that we would never be more than a click away from rocking out to some Supertramp, Pink Floyd, or Boston. Or indulge in some good ol' bro country. 12 minute commercial breaks? Boom, right there. Our salvation is at hand - we must protect these fresh, original, and unique stations!

At least they're not sending out fake invoices for Norton / McAfee subscription charges... :blink
