_Laurie_ Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hey Sweet Jane our local station is on-line now...any chance your station would be able to do that...that would be so cool if we could get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 We are working on it...that all comes under budget and with our station being small market it is hard to justify that in the budget...but it has been put on the table to the big boss'...so hopefully!! And I just want to say in defense of the same songs being played so much...well listeners what to hear them for the most part...but you do need to mix it up. On my show every day I play a buried classic song..today is is Elton John Border Song, a song you don't hear all that much...I look for songs that where a "hit" not meaning on the Billboard chart but a song that was played at some point on the air. It goes good and listeners like, plus I take a lot of requests. I love my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 My station has a segment called "The Deep End" at night they play deep cuts/tracks from albums that don't get much air play...I LOVE IT!....and I really love Sunday mornings with "The Acoustic Storm"...great acoustic versions of song you don't hear too often also...

Batman Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Portland's classic rock station has something called "Gettin the Led out" where they take Zeppelin requests, and it's kind of cool at first, because the less played Zep songs get played, but it seems like they play Misty Mountain Hop every night, and similar songs every night, and it just gets old.

Otokichi Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Whenever commercial FM radio gets on a "Stuck CD" or "Nuttin' but Tupac today" bend, there's always the local state university radio. Do Hippies still exist? "The Flower Punk" show turned the airwaves Paisely for an hour. Does Grunge thrive? "Seattle Punk" fills that bill. Undiscovered artists? "The Indie Hour" takes care of new music. Out here, due to the "mountains/valleys/tall buildings" landscape, FM radio is a catch-as-catch-can thing unless you're on the road with line-of-sight to the tower. AM radio continues to do well in this market, for this reason,though it's more formulaic than FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
