You mean to say that Scott Tyler is not live? That's disappointing. How does does he feel about not being able to use his talent to the max? Being on cue with the songs, promos and commercials takes talent too, but all Scott can do with his talent is talk? If I were in broadcasting as a dj I would be very disapointed with the industry because it's stealing REAL talent, and for what, to save a few bucks? Do these dj's that are voice tracked get paid anything?
