    WKNC did that also on April Fool's Day around '87.
 It was hilarious- not as great as Bo Williams and Pat
Anders' WXYC Thursday Night Feature "THE X" where they
turned xyc into a mainstream/"alternative" station for
three hours on some random Thursday night having
nothing to do with April Fool's Day or any holiday
(even some xyc dj's were annoyed by it)-but hilarious
at the time...KNC was so much better back in the
'80's...well they had more of an identity I guess with
"Nightwave" at night, hard rock in the day-though it
took them a while to discover hip hop, I will say that
KNC has been better the past two years than it was
most of the '90's.

    As for XDU, what happened to your signal strength
east of Durham?
