	We are a CHR station and we have just morning and noontime news, but we broke
in after a song at a remote broadcast Saturday afternoon to let our listeners
know that Mark had #60.  And we let people know when he had #61 and last night
broke in when he hit #62.  We get the AP Computer news service and this
announces on a black screen with big white letters of bulletins coming in. 
We felt this was important for our listeners as sports news is very popular
with our listeners.
