LOL.  Actually, nobody was on the air at that time.  This was when they had
a monster Schafer automation system.  Twelve racks or more.  It was huge.
They had a B-type cart (16 minutes) that was their "personality pack."  The
jock would do their jokes and stuff on it.  They explained that there wasn't
enough time on the cart, so some of the material would run again during the
last hour of the show.  I wondered at the time -- why not just plug in
another cart?  It's not like it was a MacKenzie.  Or, they could have used a
reel-to-reel.  Whatever.
