Night time jock at a studio located at the transmitter when a station 
was DA-N. In those days that shift was the best for attracting the 
ladies. There are many examples of this. The most extreme is probably 
the old WNOX. While they had palatial downtown studios and a manned 
transmitter, at night they broadcast from a studio at the transmitter 
making it a one man show. They sort of hit the jackpot as far as FCC 
rules of the day. They were 10 KW and Directional, either of the two 
would have prevented remote control authorization.
