Single Minded Proposition:
Class 95FM is the radio station that knows just what you need, just as they have for the past 20 years.
 
Concept:
The story involves a man who consults a fortune teller to get his future predicted, only to find out that he gets more than what he asks for. The idea of fortune-telling is used to translate the radio station’s ability understand its listeners, to the extent that it knows all about them, and maybe even more.
