Re: [IRCA] [Tvfmdx] Frank FM 97.1 on 1310- Still ???



Thanks Scott.  Maybe my ears are just plain bad - and that is no joke, I
have a GR 55 jingle which everyone swears they say fifty-five and I hear
mumbled gobbledygook and *maybe* a five at the end.

Hank also uses (used?) Cam Brainard who has an awesome radio voice (he
did the TV show Maximum Exposure aka Max X) for liners and such.
Speaking of TOH ID's I can't believe KTHT 97.1's "KTHT
Cleveland-Houston" that is said in about a millisecond. :)

I think that's the same ID we have up on tophour.com from both 2005 and 
2006. To my ear, the announcer (the same guy who played J. Peterman on 
"Seinfeld") *is* saying "Shelbyville* - just in a sort of slurred way. I

think that would pass FCC muster, barely.
