Da Buzz is starting to react to the "whatever" weekends on FM 100. All weekend their jocks were using the phrase "playing what YOU want". Yeah, I really want "Since You Been Gone" 8 times a day.

Good tune. It just went from #8 to #7 on the Billboard Top 100 chart.
It's nice to know Da Buzz includes their listening audience. Novel idea, eh?
At least Da Buzz folks don't give out the request line number and then tell them not to call because it doesn't matter what the listeners want to hear anyway. I 'bout fell OUT on that one! lol

Ummmm...I think that was sarcasm about Since You've Been Gone.

Bingo.
And yes, FM 100 has played it to death as well.
I was saying that if I we're the Buzz, I'd just ignore what's going on at FM 100. No one really believes that FM 100 is playing "whatever they feel like". It's just a fun diversion. I guarantee that The Buzz won't play requests either, and most listeners know that. It just sounds pointless for The Buzz to validate and acknowledge the fact that FM 100 is doing something different on the weekends.

This illustrates a good point. We in the 'biz' think that the average listener knows what we know. WRONG! They don't and never did. Unless listeners have a friend or relative who works in radio, most don't have a clue that voicetracking goes on, or that we even have rigid playlists. This business is all smoke and mirrors, and the station that manages to relate best to the audience, convince them that the station is their best friend and the jocks are playing what THEY want, wins. I guarantee you that if the average listener knew that with few exceptions in this market, after 7pm the lights are out and nobody's home, there'd be a mass-exodous of disenfranchised listeners who thought their favorite station was picking the music and taking their phone calls every night. Well, maybe not MASS exoduous, but there'd be a lot more who would simply burn a compilation CD and listen to that.

Exactly. In fact, I had a 'broadcasting legend' email me yesterday and mention the WHBQ-WMPS situation in the 60s before I read it here. What are they thinking? Regardless of how good some of you think this sounds or the merits of doing it, 94-1 doing Big Cheese Weekends looks to anyone watching or stumbling upon it like The Buzz is just jumping on the bandwagon. And that's never a positive thing.<P ID="signature">______________
