A radio station in KC, by the way, is putting the same song into higher rotation.
That's vintage radio wackiness, there.

Wacky Radio Stunt
From today's RAMP newsletter...a wacky radio stunt about the World Series...
The 2014 World Series gets underway tomorrow night, pitting the National League Champion San Francisco Giants against the American League Champion Kansas City Royals. And in keeping with that longstanding radio station tradition of publically posturing during times of major sporting events, several San Francisco radio stations are already doing their part for the home team by taking a (ceremonial) hard line against playing any song that may sound even vaguely in favor of their rivals -- Cumulus Triple A KFOG and Entercom AC KOIT are proudly proclaiming that they will stop playing "Royals" by Lorde "until the Giants win the World Series." Yes, sports fans, it's that serious. KFOG PD Jim Richards tells RAMP, "KFOG is going to root for the home team. We'll never be Royals... but we will always be Giants!" KOIT PD Brian Figula commented, "As of 4pm Friday we've removed Lorde's 'Royals' from our playlist until the end of the World Series. Go Giants, beat the Royals!"
