DJ on Air: PGU-Bot The most reliable DJ of all!

The WPGU-Bot is now on the air. He's funny, smooth, and runs like a well oiled machine--partly because he is one.

Call in and make a request. Now, don't be alarmed if the phone keeps on ringing and ringing forever. You may even begin to think that the no one is in the studio. That's a foolish thought. PGU-Bot is there, he's just busy.

What's he doing?

Playing awesome music, and the occasional commercial.
