CAMROSE, Alta. – On Friday at 4 p.m. radio in NewCap Radio debuted a country-fried version of the Bob/Jack format: BIG EARL 98.1 FM, who plays anything country!
Big Earl kicked off with a bang by announcing one thousand songs in a row! When the thousandth song is played, the 98th caller through the request lines at 888-85-56 BIG instantly wins $5,000.
