16.4.08
Memo to DFW radio audiences of A Certain Age

(as posted by iludiumphosdex @ 00:00 UTC on 16.4.08)

YOUR CORRESPONDENT DOESN'T EXACTLY KNOW HOW MANY OF THIS BLOG'S REGULAR READERS COME FROM THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX, let alone remembering the use of cowbell to signal when radio stations WFAA ("Working For All Alike" or "World's Finest Air Attraction") and WBAP ("We Broadcast A Program," "We Bore All People" or--especially so during Prohibition--"We Bring A Pint") switched frequencies between 570 kHz (526 metres), 600 kHz (500 metres) and 820 kHz (365 metres) under a time-sharing agreement as prevailed from 1929 until May 1, 1970; the better to maximise the clear-channel positioning (with 50 kHz power full-time, meaning their signals could be heard across the country @ night) of WFAA @ 570 kHz and WBAP @ 820 kHz.

In other words, when WFAA was switching from 570 kHz to 600 kHz, or vice versa, three strokes of a cowbell signalled the change of frequency, @ which point WBAP would use the other of WFAA's such.

(Put another way: When WFAA was on @ 600 kHz, WBAP would broadcast @ 570 kHz in addition to its licenced such of 820 kHz. And vice versa.)

Hopefully, such will be remembered when those of the Metroplex who read The Exaggerator see this famous "More Cowbell!" routine from Saturday Night Live as parodied VH-1's Behind the Music documentary series around the turn of the Millennium:


More Cowbell - video powered by Metacafe

(And speaking of time-sharing among AM radio frequencies, I understand that the last such in effect is with a station in Decorah, Iowa as switches time with one owned by Luther College in that city.)

So: Would "More cowbell!" remind you of the WFAA/WBAP frequency shifts, especially so in the Metroplex?

Let alone Crazy Water Crystals....
