At an FM site with no phone (and long before the days of cellphones), we'd
talk with the DJ over the air for meter calibration (before we had one
person calibration). An FCC inspector asked what we put in the program log
during this time. We told him that the program source was local, and the
program type was entertainment.

One morning at the AM associated with that FM, they had a very heavy
commercial load. A listener called in to request a commercial. The DJ
explained that we only took requests for songs. The listener asked "You
still play those?"
