Tell me about it. I did a program from Edmonton, which we fed to the Maritimes. 
The delayed version sounded so bad that we ran the original tape in Alberta 
(but obviously not feeding it to BC..one time we ran a contest asking people to 
tell us what the letters SM stood for, promoting  the new series of albums in 
the SM 5000 series, and EVERY letter from out west explained what FM stood for).
