Because the other 4 LFs are fullscreen locals? :P

They accidentally cued the XL at 458 CT while they did the squeezeback forecast

Okay.. maybe it's not an accident, it cued again at 528PM CT while they were talking  in the background.

No! :P  Only two-times an hour seems silly.  Either do it four/six-times or not at all.  What makes the :08 and :38 times so "special" that a squeezeback is needed?

They accidentally cued the XL at 458 CT while they did the squeezeback forecast

They cued the squeezeback at a :58 time?  This contradicts what Zach had said and what I'm confused about. Maybe it was the other way around; the squeezeback did not cue at the right time and the XL was fine. :thinking:


Why am I being so picky about all of this?  Because consistency is key!

4:58 PM CT is a longform LF, not a live program LF ;) the squeezeback LFs are during Day planner, not longform :no:

Sorry, I couldn't see what was going on in the background. I just assumed it was a squeezeback. And, it was just awkward for the XL to  cue two different times (458/528PM CT) with  longform programming in the background instead of LF music.

For those wondering, the songs on the IS's internal playlist are unchanged. I heard "Return of the Eagle" at 6:28 PM ET.

Great! If it continues we can finally hear some smooth jazz again (at least those with IS)!  :P :dance:

It may have just been that particular LF though and or only heard around his area ;)

Of all the bloopers, this one pretty much negates the whole need for an L-bar in the first place!   :biggrin:
