if you a speaking of WCFL.  In their days as a rocker all music was on  
cartridge.  The carts may have been recorded on +3% turntables.
 
Some older folks can explain the music playing from turntables in Chicago  
and the old AFM rules.  Cartridge machines allowed the elimination of a  
seperate union AFM guy from cueing and playing all the records.
 
At an NAB in Chicago,  I visited WLS and it took three people to run a  show, 
 the engineer in the control room, the real "Disc Jockey" was and AFM  guy 
running two turntables in the studio with the announcer,  and the  announcer.  
This was back in the dark ages.  I think only Chicago and  NY were still under 
this type of contract.
