EPISODE 214 "KILL YOUR RADIO"

FM Radio SUCKS!! Yeah I said it. Don't get me wrong, it's still the dominant format to get the public hooked on a song. It's still the standard that you have to be on to really be considered a "success" in the music biz. If you are not getting any FM radio play regularly, you cant really be considered a STAR can you? We will come back to that. The main thing is the large span of people that FM radio can get to. When you include SYNDICATED shows its pretty much all over the damn country. Some places don't have much of an urban market because there is no URBAN area nearby. THIS is a MAJOR limitation of FM radio..it only stretches as far as the signal goes. BUT I'm into Satellite and Internet Radio these days (of course) because of the VARIETY in music and NO COMMERCIALS. The technology is new but the SPAN of people it reaches and the variety in programing KILLS FM RADIO ALL DAY! I wonder how many people still actually dig their local FM affiliates. I wonder if they had a simpler way to get Satellite and Internet Radio would they opt out of listening to FM. I have no beef with the DJ's and Hosts on FM radio..some of them ore really good at what they do. Its the BS politics that makes it suck. Here are the questions 1) DO YOU LISTEN TO FM RADIO IN YOUR AREA AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT? 2) IF IT WAS EASIER TO ACCESS AND FREE WOULD YOU PREFER SATELLITE RADIO OR INTERNET RADIO OVER FM? 3) DO YOU THINK INTERNET RADIO SHOWS ARE A WASTE OR DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE ON FM?
