quick turntable question WOTW

[Dave Tomm]

Last I heard Scott Shannon still uses carts for his morning show on  
WPLJ/New York.  He was not a big believer in digital playback for a  
long time.  All of his beds, drops, sweeps and intro/outros were on  
carts lining the walls of the main studio even though the rest of the  
station was on the hard-drive.

When I was at WBRS several years back, I did a reggae show that  
centered on older material.  A good 60-70% of that show was off vinyl,  
and the station had two (usually) working turntables at that time.   
Even back then, I was one of the few people who actually used them.   
Playing songs off I-pods and laptops had become commonplace by the  
time I left in 2004.  Even the CD's weren't being utilized all that  
much....
