Satisfying the listener. Which means...playing all that's available within a format, taking requests and playing them promptly and making your day fun, with specialties and listener interaction instead of everyday monotony and repetition. Make the day interesting and bring out the hits! Some stations already do this, some do not.
Yes.....yes! That is it!! Satisfying the listener. Why can't more stations do this? It is getting really annoying. I loved listening to Indie 103.1 because they played, and still do play online, exactly what an Indie music listener wanted to hear. Currently, I really enjoy listening to AMP 97.1 because they do a great job of playing CHR/Top 40. However, I believe that AMP would be MUCH better if they had fun, interesting jocks to keep you on your toes. ;D
To oldies76, surely you realize that the days of "taking requests" are long gone, right?
