[BC] The Main trouble with radio..

[Alan Alsobrook]

No one was in the studio.. Listeners could call all the wanted and the 
phone would blink the light, and that's about it. Since it was a holiday 
  if hey did know to call the main number the switchboard is closed, 
straight to voice mail, we'll check it when we get a chance on the next 
business day. So how could the listeners tell the station? Simple answer 
is they couldn't! Welcome to the big market, in a small market typically 
if anyone is in the station they will answer the listener line. The 
bigger the market and station, the less chance that you will have that 
anyone will answer the listener line ever...
