This is the second and final part of the presentation.

An earlier attempt to upload the video was unsuccessful and as a result, has been divided into two parts. Part 1 has already been assigned an identification number -- one given during the first upload attempt.

Please note that this is for satirical purposes and that no real foxes were harmed!!! Thank you!!!

This was a audio recording of WDFX 99.5 FM on December 24, 1992 just days before changing its call letters to WOWF-FM. Detroit radio personality "Dr. Don" Carpenter plays the role of Cowboy Hugh Chardon with an assortment of guests which are obviously members of station management in given roles. The idea of the broadcast was to come up with a solution to "kill a fox". It is mentioned that these events are the results of poor overall ratings for the station. After Cowboy Hugh hands the broadcast over to the station president, a countdown begins with the number 63,752. This clip is courtesy of Detroit Radio Flashbacks. WDFX/WOWF is now Detroit's Country 99.5 WYCD, a CBS Radio station.

I was 10. I still have about 40 minutes of the goofy loops. Transferred from old Cassette tape.

I remember listening to this countdown around Xmas time when I was 14. I didnt know what was going on at the time. But then they played the Goofy Loops for awhile. I had a bunch of it recorded on cassette, but of course are long gone. What I wouldnt do to find that tape.
