I was surprised to discover last spring that WMUA at UMass still has three
functioning turntables in its main control room.  They told me at the time
that they still get a lot of new records on vinyl.  I suspect that college
stations are more likely than commercial stations to have turntables.

Of course, WJIB still has turntables -- and while I haven't been up there
to see, I assume WJTO does as well.  I wonder how many other commercial
stations still have them.  Then again, it's stretching a point to call
Bob's stations "commercial."
