In 1974, there was an independent AOR format radio station on a small AM frequency. The owner advised the staff that he was changing the format to "talk," with syndicated shows, local news, and maybe some local "talent." Most of them would lose their jobs. They had a few weeks. The on air staff went nuts. They made up ads, and played whatever struck their fancy. Format, procedure, and sanity went out the window. Once, they played the Stones 19th nervous breakdown 19 times in a row. For about 6 weeks, radio was unpredictable and fun.
