John there is no more human element in radio anymore, every time a jock is told not to talk, or is replaced by VT, nationwide jocks, or even AI, the human element is gone. Sadly, it was removed long time ago. Listeners were conditioned to not care and leave for other mediums. Radio saved money along the way, at the expense of making themselves not relevant.

Also, to everyone. I have been in radio studios before. Not all companies adhere to picking a good sounding winner. A good jock can edit just about any call to sound good on air. If not the last standby is:

"Z from Chicago won the tickets to the Milli Vanilla concert this weekend. Listen next hour for your chance to win yours and join him there! Here is the new single by Metallica, One, on Z95!"
