It was done very fast today! Although that WSJ story clued people here in. Normally it's voice-tracked but it's gone live today. It's all to do with being swift and nimble. That's why we also have an online contest to win the entire Beatles back catalogue already live on the website. This kind of stuff keeps the guys downstairs busy. Nope - we don't have that kind of gimmick running here. Our main service does have the "No Repeat Guarantee" between 9am and 5pm. But I don't think we have a cash prize if we screw up just now. And as Classic Rock is the home of the "Great British Guarantee", we certainly don't do that British bands thing. Not that we don't play US artists... Adam -- TV or Not TV ....
