Shouldn't the station's call letters be WTLT? Or KTLT? (Depends on whether Lewis Town is west or east of the Mississippi).

The story is really nicely done, though.

The best part about this story is the dialogue, especially that of the hosts. The fact that they never break the professional, bantering character - even when the "person" on the end is going on about eternal darkness and weak flesh - adds comedy that makes the scene come alive. The story shows their internal distress, while keeping up their external facade.

Also, the 80s references were spot on.

Fantastic.

I really enjoyed this one! Love the way it added a bit more to the background of Lewis Town as well.

That was creepy in all the best ways! I loved the 80's setting, too.

It really matters. Here in Winnipeg, we get NBC and CBS from stations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area- the NBC one starts with "K" and the CBS one with "W", for obvious reasons.

There used to be a late-night radio show like this on the AM station I usually listened to for news and whatnot: I don't know if they're still on, and they didn't have incidents like *This*, sadly, but still, good times. The weirdest they had that I remember was a guy going on about how the world is like the surface of a balloon and the balloon is expanding and so on. I don't remember the rest. Very odd.
