>Paulo's da MAN! :) Can I do a voice-over greeting for your radio show,
>Paulo? :)
Sure you can! I'd love to do an ID with your voice on it.
BTW if any of the guys that were kind enough to send me their work, want
to do it I'd love to collect all the messages and produce a special "AJ
list ID" for Horas Funktasticas. If you want we can arrange a way for me
to download the files. What do you think of that?

Yo Jay B. I'm really glad you brought this topic to the list. I'm not
only a radio DJ but also a radio lover so I'm really glad I can hear
what's happening around the world, as far as radio broadcasts are
concerned. For the obvious reasons I'm not posting any comments on PT's
radios but, since some of you got a tape from one of my shows you can
get a tiny idea of what's going on around here.

Elson, I totally agree with this and I must tell you that's what Radio
Nova's is trying to do for almost 8 years but it's really difficult. You
need to get audiences to get the add's that pays our salaries and people
tend to listen to Rock (or what they call alternative music???) based
stations. I'm still wondering if it pays to be different!?
