YES!!!!!  If anything, they either got it from WVHC (my first station)
or WVHC got it from them.

A WVHC alumna named Kit Hunt was working there for a while.  One time
someone spoonerized her name on the air.  The story goes that she
wasn't working for WLIR-FM after that (although she eventually got
hired back on).

time, you know.  I've been all around the world.  Would you like to
see some human remains and intestines I have in the back of my van?"
