Is the station changing formats soon? When I lived in BR one of the stations did something similar

20 years ago a NOLA station played the same Led Zeppelin song for an entire w/e with the catch phrase "1 song all weekend long"

They installed a new tower, playing the same song works well for testing the signal. They're rebranding as "Big Kat 98.9" so what better song than roar?

That makes sense. In the 90's the Shreveport 98.9 was re-branded as the "Rebel Rocker", and they played Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" for a week straight.

Been doing that well before Christmas. Supposedly upping their signal strength and coming back as Big cat country or something. And your going to hear them roar....

Did they play "the Song Remains The Same" because it would be pretty funny if that was the song.

when i was in high school there was a rock station that was going to change to country. everyone bitched so ownership said that if they could get 100,000 calls they would keep the format. they played one song for a week or two straight (Zeppelin i think) so people would call in asking what was going on.

It's a promotion. You have to keep listening to win. What's going on is that when they do stop playing it, caller number 5 gets to plow Katy Perry.

I remember a station here in BR back in the late 80's playing the LSU fight song over and over for a lengthy period of time.
