I guess those days of music libraries filling a room are long gone. Now it's
all on 80 gigs of hard drive, and would fit in a  large shoebox.

The music director at each station gets the promo copies and listenes to
them in the music meeting, but would would only play 'em on the air if the
packet from Covington didn't show up.

(I remember working at WICH in Norwich, Connecticut and breathing deep every
time I walked into that studio filled with records. Ther's something about
the smell of record shucks and cigarettes and coffee that just says "radio
station".)

So none of these stations have a room, or rooms piled from floor to
ceiling with shelves and shelves of LPs and 45s?

What happens when record companies send promo copies of albums to
individual CCU radio stations?  Or does everything get sent to Covington?
What happens with the vinyl once it's recorded into the storage unit?
