Guinness Record shattered today: 110 hours on-air

It's happening in my hometown.

WINTER PARK, FL -- Longtime WPRK community DJ and Rollins staff member Dave Plotkin will begin broadcasting at 9 a.m. Monday, January 17, 2005 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and will stay on the air until the night of Friday, January 21 at 11 p.m.. That's 110 hours on the radio, without sleeping or leaving the studios. We're obliterating the current record of 105 hours, set in Bern, Switzerland in 2002.

This is decidedly better than some of the "News of the Weird" coming out of Orlando recently:

City Considers Charging To Rescue Injured From Car Crashes

Central Fla. Preacher Dies In Mid-Sentence Of Sermon
