I was curious, Moderator , about Mr. King's radio station. I assume he still owns it? If so, a couple questions.

How closely does King tie his brand equity into the radio station? I was wondering if he produces any content for it. Does he, for instance, host a weekly show where he plays music, interviews guests? Has he ever written a story specifically for the station? Has the station ever hosted any readings of his works, maybe a reading of "Jerusalem's Lot" on Halloween night by one of the DJs?

I also was curious if there are ever ad buys negotiated into his contracts. As an example, was the distributor of Cell ever obligated to buy ads on the station as part of his compensation? Will Sony use the station to sell The Dark Tower? I assume talent from King's projects have called in to the station in the past.

Just something I thought to ask this afternoon...

A few of us used to call in and request songs, and of course, we would all be listening to it at the same time and do virtual high fives.
Oh yeah! That was amazing...!
You...


And when I finally got through I couldn't think of anything to ask for and this popped into my head....


It was so good hearing my friends accents on air. :love:
