RE: "A Format Tape 202" So what is this thing?

It's a tape from an automated content format for radio. Do away with everyone except a tape changing mute and pocket the profit while destroying the live component of broadcasting. After a while they figured out that even that operator could be eliminated with a satellite service.

If you've ever come across an Otari ARS-1000 and wondered what it was used for you've brushed up against the system. That's an excruciatingly almost useful deck BTW.

Look up Century 21 "Z" Programming, as one example, or Drake-Chenault for more details.
