All "Hail" All The Time
How cool would this be!
Ann Arbor's WLBY-AM (1290) was slated to undergo a format change at 12:01 this morning -- all "The Victors," all the time.
Yep, the Michigan fight song, played ad nauseam, over and over and over again.
Is it just a publicity stunt for The Big Game weekend or a long-term change from the liberal talk format?
"We're going to gauge that decision by listener feedback," station spokesman Bob Bolak said in an e-mail.
For now, though, knock yourself out. Listen until your ears bleed maize and blue.

That's really odd, but funny, too.
It might "look" a little something like this...

Here they come with banners flying,
In stalwart step they're nighing,
With shouts of vict'ry crying,
We hurrah, hurrah, we greet you now,
Hail!

For the glory and fame they've bro't us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Far we their praises tell

Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Here they come, Hurrah!
