First shift... second station. Gave the callsign of my old radio station for the first hour of the shift until the PD finally couldn't be lenient on the new guy any more and came in to give me a bollicking! Second hour onwards was the right callsign.
While at 4TO, the station was doing an all-day OB from a home show. I arrived for my 3 hour stint to find the previous jock had taken all the records (the days of vinyl) back to the studio.
Luckily we had a junior monitoring back in the studio, so I had my first and only panel op and spent the time guessing the what the next track would be and hoping he would time out to the news. (No mobile phones then and the 2-way handset went back to the studio with the records)
