Reminds me of the Music:Fun:Life era of the TLRC stations where on the ‘Workday Text and Request’ you could choose ANY song you wanted (via premium rate text) and it’d get played, but only if it it had already coincidentally been scheduled on the log in advance.

Cue lots of annoyed listeners running up their phone bills trying to request songs that weren’t amongst the 200 or so in rotation, and so would never get played.

As the Programme Controller of a Music:Fun:Life station (I mean, who the f thought that made any sense), I couldn’t possibly comment…

I was one of the Workday Text and Request presenters (don’t think you were my boss tho  ) and I’ve still got the style guide knocking around somewhere where it’s all explained in black and white. Lucky no-one made an official complaint or the group wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on.
