Have you ever called a radio station?

Yes. I called radio station CKOC to tell them Glendale Secondary School was closed for the day due to that morning's heavy snowfall. Within moments the station made the announcement I had hoped and prayed they would - 🤣

Years ago people said i should try and win radio contests. Well a dude who worked for me at the time did the dialing, I won 4 or 5 contests. Lost none.

Yes, because the radio station was misleading the public with misinformation about the event, I was involved in.

Yeah they were holding a contest and they gave me a word that I had to make someone say. So I called my sister and asked her ...whats that thing they put under you so you can use the bathroom in bed. ( She was in the hospital). She said it's called a bedpan. Since I got her to say the word, we won. So we won tshirts. Unfortunately they were too small but it was fun.

Use to when I was in middle school. We almost live near the radio station that is up in the Mountain. Though no story about songs....

Yes especially as a teenager to request songs and to call in for the contests.

I called a radio sports talk show once. I thought I had something insightful to say but they were meh. Lol.

no, but i emailed one

Nope, but I remember my mom requesting a song to support farmers during the foot and mouth epidemic.

🤔 I tried calling Coast to coast around 20 years ago
Never got through.

Yes I have . Tried winning weekly prizes a ticket’s. Back in the day

I have. Called a local talk show to discuss issues

Enjoyed making song requests.

Many times, but not lately.

I called a radio once and they made fun of the way I talk lol it was a clever blip but I felt a little insulted

Yes to enter contests

Use to call all the time

I used to be the overnight dj (the "talent" we were called) in Mobile Alabama, midnight to 6am m-f loved it, especially my regulars that would call in to sometimes shoot the shit, sometimes to request a song with some meaning behind it to them, some to find out where we were gonna be at our next outting. We were heard from New Orleans to Panama City, Florida. Spring Break was a favorite time to be doing that job, Mardi Gras was another, and every music festival, concert, etc....

So many stories, it was good to be me.

Yup. I also took calls during my brief time in radio. By the way, that "be the 20th caller" thing was a scam. We got tired of the damn phone ringing and just picked someone. "YOU'RE THE LUCKY TWENTIETH CALLER!!"
