What is in the start time and end time fields?

I am guessing a time rather than a date. If that is the case you will have
to do some manipulation to just use the time component of GETDATE().

Without knowing the context of the fields in the StartTime and EndTime
fields I cannot provide code.

I have a radio station application, and we need to display "who's on air
now" on the site.   We're doing that from a SQLServer database where each
show has a start time and a finish time in a datetime field.  It's
displaying in the form 09:00:00AM when I look at it in Enterprise Manager. 

How do I find the show that's currently playing?

This select statement gives me zero records:

SELECT  (stuff) from SHOWS  
WHERE Starttime <= getdate()
AND endtime >= getdate() 


But I'd have thought that would do it?  No?
