175 hours on air!

I'll make this quick. DJ Johnny Walker has returned the glory of the Disc Jockey endurance record to America. On August 13th at WUAG he completed 175 hours on air a new world's record. More here: http://www.wuag.net/

Under the Guinness rules, to count as a continuous broadcast, a talent can only take one five-minute break per hour; no song played can be longer than six minutes; during interviews, the broadcaster must speak at least once per minute; and the entire process must be recorded and videotaped.
