Is this the best April Fool joke, or what the?
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:17:10 PM »
WoW! So, KFJC 89.7 FM is what happen when we, the listeners don't support and pledge to WFMU!!!

I've done my part by pledging. But it seems that not enough pledge.

But enough with those sound effects.

I'm listening to the KFJC stream online now to see if I can hear The Kid that way. Just music so far, so who knows...

What's going on at FMU? I can't get 91.1 on my radio.

Martin, the FM signal for WFMU was switched with FM signal for this freeform San Fran station KFJC. SO what u were hearing on yr radio at 91.1 today was actually KFJC programming.
 THEN if you went to WFMU.org the website was re-directed to KFJC.org's site! To listen to the stream u had to go to KFJC.org to hear WFMU's stream!!

This was NOT Tom's idea of a joke. The 2 stations WFMU and KFJC did this ALL day as a conceptual April Fool's joke.

ALso the DJ's on either station were asked NOT to mention over the air that the streams were switched.

Thank you, Jillian.
My mind is now at ease. For real.

I think the concept is neat and would work fine for djs spinning records, but one can certainly appreciate the challenges it poses for a call in radio show.

Meh.  It would have been better if DJs could mention what was happening. Hearing calls from the Bay Area would have been cool, too.

Tom is a team player, though.

He's the captain, son!  He's got a big "C" over his heart, like a purple-shirted GG Varitek.

I couldn't listen to the show live and am trying to find the archive of today's show. The one that's on the archive page obviously isn't what I want to hear. Couldn't find an archive on the KFJC website either.

Does anyone have a clue?

The fact that the legal station ID still had to be given sort of undermined the whole concept.

I knew going in that the KFJC stream wouldn't be able to hold up to the FOT onslaught.
