The lines long ago outlived their utility, he said, but not the “magic.”Īnd maybe the magic is this: We all remember a number from our childhood. The phone lines normally get a big boost twice a year when the time changes - “that’s like the Super Bowl for time and temperature” - but Lochridge thinks the business will survive a possible coming change to permanent daylight saving time. One female caller told him, “It’s a little slice of Mayberry.” And I’m calling time and temperature just for some company.” Lochridge quotes a lyric by the Old 97′s: “Well, a box of red and a pill or three. To have something from your childhood that’s still around in this world that is quickly changing, it’s special.” Something that was there for them in happy times and sad times. “This is kind of sad, but a lot of people call us because they don’t have anyone else to call,” he said. The lonely stories stick with him - the woman who called often when she was hospitalized to keep grounded with reality the guy who worked at a desolate store in Death Valley and dialed long-distance just to hear a human voice. Lochridge said he spends hours poring over the comments people post after learning time and temp is back in their city. (I later learned these were used by phone companies to test call quality.) It’s why I still take photos of pay phones today. For instance, a classmate turned me on to a supposedly haunted “doppelganger number,” where everything I said took on an eerie echo. I can’t deny that telephones - if you can imagine it - used to be fun. Dutiful, even if no one needs it.Īnd of course it’s a bit of cheap nostalgia. And there’s comfort in finding that a system that was always there has continued on. There’s a thin line between habit and ritual. “That means the people had been calling for months, even when the service was gone. “In the first week he got 14,000 calls,” Robertson said. The guy plugged it in but made no announcement that it was back. He described a client who’d taken control of an old line in Kentucky. I told him how I’d never completely stopped calling. He also sells the tech that makes modern time and temperature lines like Lochridge’s work.

Today is Friday, April 8, the current time 11:04 a.m. The former radio announcer provides the distinguished voice callers hear today. Seeking the source of this small miracle, I connected with RTI Media founder Bruce Robertson.
