Not to burst anyone's bubble, but commercial radio

"call-in" things - such as people calling in to win a contest to to request a song to be played, etc. are all handled for dozens of radio stations nationwide by central production houses where callers are recorded as they answer questions or make comments, etc.

The computer stitches together the responses or remarks from staff announcers in the same production houses, thereby rendering something that local listeners think is locally generated/produced. A single staff announcer can handle dozens of these automated stations at once. Most commercial "local" radio stations rarely have much human staff sitting inside their buildings anymore...
