Gary Martin (former midday at WRKO) told of the station he worked at
where the DJ ran his own board and there were no cart machines.  Every
spot was on a 3" reel of tape on a pegboard.  There were multiple
reel-to-reels available to set up a spot set.

Can you imagine that setup for today's 10-12 unit break?
