Technology has improved so much over the past thirty years!! When the radio station first began they played songs off of records, then came tapes, CDs, and now most of their programs are loaded through satellite! Over 20,000 songs are loaded on their computers, a process that took several years to complete. They still have the records in case someone wants to hear an old song, and, "because no one else wants the records," said John Eby. It was a very interesting tour and it was neat to see how a radio station works!
