Re: Carts!

["Bob Nelson...WMWM" <bobonradio@yahoo.com>]

I've been working at WMWM (Salem State Radio) for
almost 20 years, and we're still using carts. Some for
IDs, promos, PSAs, "donorships", and even some for
full-length songs (local band tapes). Usually I have
to double check to make sure they're re-cued. If not:
"we'll be right back after this...oops, well, I guess
that public service annoucement isn't quite ready
yet..."

WMWM has 3 single cart decks in our on-air studio
and they have fast-forward buttons for those times
when someone hasn't recued a cart (so you can always
throw another cart on or talk for a minute while the
cart fast-forwards to the cue point.)
