Radio Play






Ok, people that know me, know that I get really frustrated with the radio, the songs they play, and things they say/do. I don't know why, but listeners seem to enjoy hearing the same songs repeated over and over again. Not to mention, the same 6 songs stations are recycling sound THE EXACT SAME! Ugh! I don't think I have to name the stations for you to know what i'm talking about, but you are all smart people and can figure it out. I have, however, found a few stations that keep the music changing in terms of genre and artist. If you are interested, post a comment or send me a message and I'll let you know.
The other thing that makes me cringe, is when stations say, "COMMERCIAL FREE MONDAYS", but after 2 or 3 songs, there's talking and interruptions. Some people may argue, "but it's not commercials, it's the DJ's talking", but to me that's still the same thing. There is a station that I've found that is LITERALLY commercial free. No ads, no contests, no callers, just MUSIC!. The DJ every so often will introduce the next song, or recap the previous tunes he played, but it's quick, and to the point. He then finishes his spiel by saying the station you're listening to, and then....MORE MUSIC!. It's great.
Obviously everyone is going to have a different opinion on this topic, and I can respect that, but this is mine :)
