Correct. Been like that for some time however.

Back when I was in college, so you're talking 2 decades ago, it was like that. I interned for a middle market company that owned a half dozen stations. The morning show was live, but the rest was all pre-recorded. So you would get a DJ to come in, record their "scripts" for the day, and then would take off. They would be in for an hour to record 1-2 days of sound bites for that day/next.

If you listened to the station, sometimes the computer would mess up and it would be amusing. You could always tell what stations had prerecorded because they never mention the time, day, or things that you would have to know looking at the clock. Meaning, it could not be so accurate because the software wasn't.

Unless you work in a big 50 or 100 market station, those guys made little money. Most had 2nd jobs or worked as DJ/program manager/station manager to make enough to live on.
