The station I worked for WQAI, customarily used thier lightbulb power during
the day unless they were running block programming or thier home shopping
show. The home shopping show had a huge following despite the horrible
broadcast schedule. The PD was the DJ minding the store and he would show up
for sign on whenever he could wake up. And he kept the same five CDs in one
of the CD changers... ugh! I tossed the CDs when I got there. The licensee
found this out and rushed in and immediately corrected this situation. That
guy who had LMA is history.  Imagine; only a $240.00 monthly power bill for
a 5kw station. The spots we ran for the same utility was also $240.00 a
month....  Thank god that guy's gone. Now we're actually functioning as a
bona fide radio station. Live mornings and off of a PC for the rest of the
day aside from local talk and my show on saturdays...
