(In this case we're probably pushing the word "need" to its breaking point and beyond, but let's say as much as one can "need" to know about a long cancelled, probably-not-very-good show, I'm there.)
Anyway, the show I'm referring to aired on one of the major networks (Fox, maybe?) and was one of those scary story anthology shows that all the networks seem to periodically try out. Kind of in the same vein as Tales From The Crypt, only I seem to recall there being multiple stories per episode. I don't think it lasted for very long, and I don't remember when it aired, except I think I was around college age, so it probably would have been sometime within a few years before or after the turn of the millenium. The specific story I remember involved a DJ working the graveyard shift at a radio station, and he was the only one in the building. He kept getting calls from a weird listener, each call getting progressively more threatening, until the final reveal that, of course, the psycho caller was actually inside the station with him, ha ha ha the end. So, basically it was the old babysitter urban legend, but with a DJ in place of the sitter.
Anyway, for some reason I've never been able to get that particular episode out of my head. Does anyone remember it, or have any clues as to what the show might have been called?
