World's Shortest Career in Radio:

Today I came into the dressing room and tried to put Plus 98.7 on to listen to while getting changed into hockey gear. I couldn't get it, but that was not a huge surprise; our stereo is pretty rickety. Then, Runar came in and told me Plus 98.7 had quit broadcasting! Now, when you listen, there's just a repeated message asking any listeners whether they wish to buy some used radio equipment! Insane! I was actually the last human voice on it, last night.
When the station manager left, he took the Nintendo Wii with him, so maybe he knew. But at the same time, he'd just installed a green screen to do tv adverts, which would have been a laborious process. So I don't know if he knew the plug was about to be pulled. Regardless, my two shows will have been my only shows. I am glad I ended last night with the words "Goda nott, Akureyri". Indeed.
