Now, Mr. or Ms. Anybody can hit the airwaves

Rita Strough of Cinnaminson was driving down Route 130 when she noticed a billboard advertising an intriguing opportunity.
"Have your own radio show," the billboard declared, directing those interested to call "John" about a new-show format on WIFI-AM (1460).
After talking to best friend Anne Ford of Delran and despite lacking radio experience, the two called John, created a show about spirituality and angels, and rented on-air time at noon for the first time Friday as program co-hosts.
Their one-hour show, "Talk 'N Angels," is one of the programs being aired on WIFI, which has a new owner who began renting air time in December to anyone who wants to be on the radio.
"It's tough for the public -- regular people -- to get on the air, so this is a way for them to do it," said owner John Forsythe of Shamong, who bought the county's only commercial radio frequency and is implementing the same format that has been successful for him at WNJC-AM (1360) in Washington Township.
Strough, 44, said she had an "inspiration"
"We wanted other people to realize they have much more than a physical body but a spiritual side that is neglected," said Strough, an employee business consultant whose partner is a retired business consultant who works part time at a fitness center.
During a meditation to end their show, Strough urged listeners to take a few quiet moments, feel the presence and energy of God and thank Him for all the gifts in their lives."
Then she counseled in a soft, mesmerizing voice, "Let all your fears, worries, doubts, disappointments, and anger surface in your mind (and) envision them as a muddy stream which flows out of you as you breathe . . . Just let them go."
As soon as the program went on, the switchboard lit up with calls from people all over the country who tuned in to the live broadcast, which is carried on the station's Web site for those not living in the region. The hosts sat in front of two microphones at a desk with a producer at the switchboard.
Ford, 45, talked about the presence of angels with a female caller in Florida who believes in them as the hosts do.
"It's really nice to know there are young girls out there who stand up for God. I'm really proud of you," the caller told them.
