Idea for an all pork radio station (WHAM)

On the way to the bathroom just now, I thought of an idea for a radio station called HAM Radio (call sign WHAM). It's radio. It's all things pig. It's a play on words. I have no more ideas about it. Only excerpts of possible shows:

Commodities Watch
...In pork bellies futures, February closed higher on spillover from a weak Chinese hog market, which is expected to tank by summer due to near drought weather conditions. February pork bellies closed lower Friday with a high of $44.32 and a low of $43.00 and a close at $43.05. To survive, hogs require something to roll around in, and the drought in China will likely lead to much less mud production. The Chinese government has asked hog farmers to feed their hogs more, which will hopefully cause them to produce more of their own filth, which may then be rolled around in in lieu of mud...

Pork News
...Today the Mexican Council of Food (MCF) mirrored pork advertisements in the United States by stating that pork is "La otra carne blanca", which translates to "The other meat white." No word yet from the MCF as to why they choose to put adjectives after the noun...

...The FDA confirmed recent nation-wide rumors that, yes, a magical animal DOES exist that provides ALL of these delicious meat products: bacon, ham, pork chops, sausage, BBQ, and Sati Babi...

...While hosting a gag trivia game with audience members as participants, David Letterman awarded a canned ham to a contestant. This was the 20,000th time in the history of his late night program "The Late Show" that a canned ham was used as a gag prize. In appreciation of this milestone, Late Show producers then awarded Mr. Letterman a - you guess it - canned ham for this accomplishment, which raised the number to 20,001. Canned laughter then permeated the Ed Sullivan Theater...

Hog Farm News
...The Environmental Protection Agency released a statement today that it aims to crack down on sewage sludge runoff from hog farms in the state of Missouri. Farmers are being asked to feed their hogs less, which will hopefully cause them to produce less of their own filth and therefore less runoff. Meteorologists forecast an unusually wet spring this year, which will mean plenty of mud for hogs to roll around in in lieu of their own filth...

That's it. I've got nothing else. Other than a Wham! song would probably introduce some or all of these quality pork programs.


Update, 2/25/05:

On second thought, maybe that wasn't an original idea...
