[BC] question for the braintrust

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

There are consulting operations that hire people to sit and listen to the 
radio.  Their hourly job is to sit and listen to a specific radio station 
during specified hours and document what songs they hear, sending the 
information in by internet back to the service, who posts it or sells it, 
and pays them for their time.  They may work one or two hours per day, or, 8 
to 10 hours a day, covering one or more stations in the formats they qualify 
for (the consulting firm gives them a pretty broad music knowledge test to 
see which songs they know best...)

  I know as they hired a jock friend of mine to do this for a while.   Had 
him listen to 2 stations in D/FW from 2300 to 0500, and 0500 to 1000...
