Quoting:.....But radio has changed. "I used to drive up and down the East Coast to listen to different radio, just to get ideas. Every city, Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta, had its own sound. Now it's all the same."
Whether travelling or just dx'ing it was the regional flavor, the songs you didn't hear back home. sometimes even the processing that made radio a bigger part of my life 15+ years ago.
I know that consultants and PDs have research that can pinpoint "safe" and "familiar" but I still believe that media does have a role in leading not just reflecting.
As an aircheck fan I sometimes go to ReelRadio or my own collection and I'am often surprised at how regionally varied playlists were during Top-40's golden era.
Today it seems that every AC, every CHR sound the same.
