From the vault of really strange moments in radio – if a show has no affiliates, is it possible to have dead air?<\/p>\n
TRN announced that it ended its arrangement to distribute Mancow using Dial Global. Mancow has announced vague big plans for the future.<\/p>\n
The show has only four outlets that I can confirm:
\n– his web site
\n– GCN channel 3
\n– CRN (formerly known as Cable Radio Network)
\n– overnight on KPRC in Texas<\/p>\n
So I checked in about 8:45 this morning – and was hearing filler music typically dropped in when automation has detected dead air. After a couple minutes of that, Mancow came on the air berating people for not calling in and telling him the show had been transmitting dead air (unknown for how long). They then put on an incoming call that turned out to be a wrong number and they made fun of the stupid caller.<\/p>\n
My conclusion is Mancow hasn’t told his staff yet the bad news. Every affiliate (other than KPRC) that I checked out long ago changed formats or no longer exists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
