John Hunt, who is also the D.J. for the station in the morning hours, will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest, continuous shift. The record stands at 8 days and 6 hours.[https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/95947/oregon-aaa-to-launch-with-world-record-attempts Oregon AAA to Launch With World Record Attempt] - Radio Insight (accessed January 18, 2016)
