Robojock or Supervoicetracker

[videokilledtheradiostar]

Both are a boring and cause you to start snoring! Robojock lacks all ability to be creative and fears corporate management. Supervoicetracker is corporate's best friend. It allows management cut costs. Layoffs and a whole lot more. The solution is to drop a CD in and be done with it! ;D

Feel better now that you got that off your chest?

You know, there nothing quite like Mom's cooking. You can gather with the rest of your family and stand around while Mom finishes up creating an entire meal.... or you can show up over at Mom's house and take something she prepared in advance and put in the Fridge, take it out and warm it up, and you still have Mom's cooking.

Or, you can go to your favorite chain restaurant... maybe an Applebee's... and get institutional food prepared somewhere at a commissary and shipped in for the locals to throw into the microwave and what you get is about the same thing you find in a box in the frozen foods section at Walmart.

I saw my first radio programming automation machine in 1958. It was crude and simple. But if you had a talent who could do radio as good as Mom could do dinner, the little machine offered some real possibilities.

Unfortunately, Mom is not the manager of that little automation device that has matured and grown up into quite a capable being. Today Mom does her cooking in the commissary that puts programming in cardboard boxes. Welcome to radio, 2009 style. Sounds like we got it in a cardboard box in the frozen foods section at Walmart.

Not quite as good as pinching one off but a distant 3rd. Radio 2009 is a pile of turkey dump. Radio 2009 is about greedy corporate suits squeezing every penny out of local radio so they can purchase more luxury items. The same corporate greed that took place on Wall Street with A.I.G. and the rest of those losers.

Drop a CD in and be done with it! no commercials and no useless robojock chatter. A pleasurable listening experience. ;D

To use a very tired old cliche, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

Yes, radio has a problem in that some big companies have tried a business technique that many of us think is wrong-headed.

If you want to try to feel better by banging you head against the wall and yelling obscenities, be my guest. My point is there are still a lot of stations being operated today by sensible ownership, and many of these people use automation in a sensible way. In fact, they couldn't keep their sensible and plealsureable stations operating in today's economy if we took "robojock" away from them.

What some people are demanding from radio is like us going to the telephone company and saying: Throw out the "dial system" and go back to ALL calls being handled by human operator. No touch tone. No rotary dial. No computers. Give us warm, live human telephone operators and make the world real again.

The uber-negativity is getting a bit old.

Don't insult the listener. How about a real creative afternoon show. Personality radio is what listeners want. Not robotic
image liner readers. Consultants have brainwashed radio management into believing they can solve all of their programming
problems. I have seen on numerous occasions where out of town consultants have failed miserably.
Radio needs to move forward in a constructive way. ;D
