Muzak had "disk jockeys" in the pre-tape days that played
records out over their closed-circuit systems in the
various cities.  There was a Muzak head-end in an electronics
store in Tacoma when I was a kid.  By then it was tape, but
they had three racks of tape decks, timers, etc. behind a
glass wall in their show room.  They were very proud of it.
That equipment came out some time in the early 80s if I
recall correctly.  By that time, I think it was distributed
to the head ends by satellite.
