WODS Music Screw Ups

["Mark Watson" <markwats@attbi.com>]

   Has anyone noticed since WODS (Oldies 103.3) moved to their new studios
at the former WSBK building that there have been several screw ups, or
glitches while music is playing?

   A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday night, while "Harper Valley PTA" by
Jeanne C. Riley was playing, song just disappeared half way through,
followed by several seconds of dead air, then a jingle and another song.
Later that same night, "Knock 3 Times" by Dawn met a similar fate, except
after the several seconds of dead air, Jim Clark did his chatter into the
scheduled stop set before the next "12 in a row" as if nothing happened.

    This past Thursday night, on the "Thursday Night Countdown"  Patrick
Callahan came out of "Just Dropped In" by Kenny Rogers/1st Edition, and read
his intro and tidbit about the #3 song this week in 1968, "Simple Simon" by
1910 Fruitgum Company. The first few seconds of "Just Dropped In" started to
play, quickly disappearing as Callahan kept on chatting as if all was OK,
then "Simon Says" started. In the middle of second verse, it sudeenly dumps,
a few seconds of dead air, and Callahan jumps in wondering what happened,
and starts the song over again. There have been a few other similar flubs
that I have heard over the past few weeks also.

   Does anyone know what WODS is using for their music playback system in
their new studios? Too many screw ups for a major market station, IMHO.
