Meet Ben Holliman is - only the dead man on the planet, which has its own broadcast.
Even during his lifetime, he was a legendary show "Big Ben Hour" (Big Ben's hour) radio Soast. Blues, calls to the studio and intimate conversations - a classic cocktail road for night owls. For twenty years, the show has become a national treasure, and its leader - an idol for a whole generation of Americans.
Even idols do not last forever: in 2005, the year Ben died of a heart attack, leaving behind the wild will. His last wish was: "Set in my coffin microphone and transmitter, so that I could as a first go on the air." The request was, to put it mildly, a strange, but so much loved colleague Holliman, they could not refuse. Coffin radioboga equipped studio microphone and tombstone stuffed transmitting equipment. Now, every day, exactly two o'clock in the morning, Ben begins his translation, and ... yes, just silent. He's dead, damn it. Despite the absurdity, the show gathers a huge audience: people like to meditate while sitting in this particular, sepulchral silence.
