Dear Folks, First of all , it seems like many of you have biases on what stations you like to talk about, and which ones you like to rip apart. I find, and this is just me, a station that does not shove theirselves down your throat. Call me Old Skool or whatever, but I think radio should concentarte on the music, not some dj's ego. Let me apologise also If I went on a rant,but if it's ok for Casey to tell of his opinion of another jock, why can't I express my opinions, It's a free board, correct. I did not curse, I just told like I hear it.

Sorry, yes, Mr. Casey did do the first attack, and he should have included some reason for the way he felt the way he did at the time.

Hopefully, that would have helped a bit.
Sometimes things go on behind the scenes that the listener isn't made aware of.

Perhaps the two didn't get along off air, even though on air performance may have been fine. (for both parties)

As for concentrating on the music, that's fine, but not to the "Jack" point.

Radio owners keeps saying "how can we make it tighter...tighter....tighter" to the point where they eventually say "ok fine, maybe we don't need dj's."

That's where Apple may as well own the station.
I don't want the kind of radio that runs non stop ads for ipods that remind the listener that if you don't like jockless radio that plays what it wants, there's always an Ipod.
Do you?

Sure, too much talk is bad for a music format, but not enough is just discusting. My Hydro is extra where I live.
A pc costs alot to run 24/7.
I would much rather hear the dj tell me the name of the song and who it is by instead of having to waste hydro finding out.

I tried to edit that, but it wouldn't let me! Grr!
Sorry, it should actually read:

I don't want the kind of radio that runs non stop ads for ipods, reminding the listener that you don't have to listen to their music at all.

Do you?

That's what it's more/less boiling down to.
There has to be some sort of radio personality in the picture somewhere...

(and requests would be nice...)
 
Thaks Yez, you are very knowledgeable, and appreciate your reply. I just happened to read Forbes the other day, there was an article entitled "Bring the DJ Back to Radio". To put it in a nutshell, it mentioned the personalities between the breaks,and how some listeners prefer their dj's to be informative and entertaining.You know, we probably have some of the best DJ's in Broadcasting history,right here in our own market ie. Tommy Shannon WHTT. The" Hounddog" Lorentz was a pioneer in rock and roll,broke Buddy Holly's records,and of course, owned one of the first black radio stations in the country, WBLK. Not to mention, all air talent, either currently working or not.The folks on the air now,cannot express their full potential because of programming formats,due to large corps hiring consultants,and the death of music,to me, call out research. There has to be a revolution in radio, if it's ever going to get better.
