Yay Dawn!! You go girl!!!

Lux Noctis gets her debut. Whatever happens about the f-bombs, Lux is sure to come out smelling like a rose. I suspect that she will have a big fan base very soon.

By the way, 87.1 is outside the FM broadcast band. It goes from 88.0 to 108.0 MHz.

Great story! I really like Don/Dawn.

Well, Lawrence just settled his hash.

1) He will never work the industry again.
2) He is up for some Federal time rather than just a slap on the wrist. One or two foul mouthed explicatives are 'sometimes' forgiven. An entire sentence will get you a fine, especially if you show any kind of animosity in its use. The playing of music in the studios while foul mouthing on the air shows malice aforethought and will buy some Federal prison time as well as the fines.

3) unfortunately, the station will also receive fines and, if the event is deemed serious enough, the possible loss of license.

of course the station can sue Lawrence but from all I've read, I figure he doesn't have anything worth pursuing AND the Feds would get first crack at it anyway.

Fun fun. I'll bet Lawrence, if he's sober enough, is on the run. He best change his name because this isn't a misdemeanor and the Feds will pick up on him if he continues to use his present name.

If he had the new job cinched, then his new employer needs to be told of his actions before he can do the same to them. If course that means he will come back and try something else - maybe try to burn the station down or blow up the antenna tower?

Great story

With a kudo count of 374, why do you need comments? I get the feeling that Dawn is perhaps 5'2" and skinny?

Great chapter.

...has a future in live streaming on the Web. If the story spreads nationwide, there'll probably be people out there who'll consider him courageous -- some may even become sponsors. Notoriety gets you listeners, many of whom want to see what you'll do next. And an Internet carrier (unlike a radio station) isn't liable for the content provided by its users, though it can be pressured by social media into dropping them.

I may very well be wrong on this, but I have a vague memory that a new radio station's first license is provisional, or at least short-term. So there could be trouble there for the owners quite apart from any punishment this case brings.

I'm not quite old enough to remember Lux Radio Theater, except as a source of old-time radio broadcasts. (Wikipedia says it lasted until 1955.) I do remember ads for Lux Liquid soap. But the station's demographic probably doesn't extend to Boomers, so that's not really a concern. OTOH, I can't help thinking anyone named Noctis seeking a radio career would change it, or their boss would. (Sounds too much like noxious, for one thing.) And I'd expect a female using the hard-edge first name Lux to find something softer to follow it, unless she was a punk rock type.

... makes a fabulous chapter of one of my favourite stories!

Another enjoyable chapter as the stations late-night-princess takes the reins. I love the name, and I also actually like the idea of dawn coming in to work as don, doing the cleaning and then just walking into the studio.

I know that Blake is going to have to be clued in, and brett knows - but who else? Will dana have been listening? Will anyone else? I'm sure it will be a minor mystery but I'm glad to read on!
