| There was a time when the air-staff was so solid and the same year after year, and I knew who all the DJ's were and their time slots, then they removed a few and doubled the roster, and put in all of these programs. My guy's slot was shrank and expanded at various times during this evolution. For years he was broadcasting at Sunday mornings from 3am to 8am, a really solid five hours, until "Flashback" was put in which cut his time to 3am to 6am, then they changed it to 4am to 6am, put Flashback on for two hours, then my guy had one additional hour on voice from 8am to 9am. At one point they put him in for only two hours when they moved another show in there. At one point, then they put him on the other morning, Saturday morning too, which was a boost, but still, he gets cut down by other shows. And it is very tenious since they did away with all other overnight DJ slots during the week.
