… all your favorite music on one station …

This Exhibit ‘SCOPED (08:45)
This ‘scoped version includes all the missed opportunities for station identification, Ms. Miller and a very light spot load.
Carol Miller, interviewed by Forbes magazine for an article titled Come Back, Mr. D.J. in November of 2006, is heard on WPLJ in the summer of 1983. And although Ms. Miller is smooth and professional, the format here was well into the jukebox mentality that has all but eliminated disc jockeys 23 years later.
It’s an “AOR” approach to Top 40, yielding lots of opportunities for listeners to have no idea what station they’re hearing. Anyone can play tunes back to back without saying anything, and it’s obvious that this approach assisted competitor Z100.
