         I was at KFWB (all news for over 6 years) in the mid-70s.
         People were STILL calling in for requests from the
         Channel 98 Color Radio days. "We'll get that on right after the
         news" was the common reply.  I always imagined some
         elderly lady waiting for 30 years, then calling and saying
         "I've been waiting for you to play that Elvis record for
         30 years. I'm going to change the channel now."
