Yes, the Alternative Rock FM Radio Station near Palm Springs convinced most of their listeners they were changing formats: to DISCO!
It went on for THREE hours and was some of the funniest radio I have heard in years. Obviously they spent a LOT of time setting it up (commercials, new jingles, new name - "Fine99.5", everything!).
Including 3 hours of Disco Hit's from the 80s . . . most of th BeeGees collection.
Most of the people who called or e-mailed really missed the date and were P.O.'d with some threatening violence against the new station. . . .
