… This is NOT a school. I repeat – This is NOT a job …

Dana Lauren is real and very pleasant for the few minutes she is allowed to speak (less than 3.5 minutes out of 87..) Dana worked at WHN in New York before moving to Magic 106 (KMGG-FM) in 1982.
Wow, here’s just about everything that mattered in 1982, including a spot for the CBS-TV Friday night schedule.
The AYDS diet plan, despite Dan Ingram on the spot, didn’t make it. And the auditions at NBS Radio promised easy rewards for those who wanted to be a disc jockey who rarely talked on the radio, (if at all.)
Those who choose the unscoped version will undoubtedly wonder why a “double golden” (Help and Help Me Rhonda) was included in the second “music sweep” – perhaps this station was subliminally calling for some programming assistance? C’mon, you play two tunes back-to-back that are completely out of context, and your talented and capable host isn’t allowed to say anything? Tragic.
There are those who believe top 40 started with a jukebox. There’s no doubt that it ended that way. All but 3.5 minutes of this one could be broadcast from an I-Pod, and in fact, even that 3.5 minutes could be pre-recorded.
