would cinemagic work on broadcast?

If you kept a station like this to hit movie soundtracks, and even TV scores, and maybe from 12-6, you played some lesser known stuff, could it survive and thrive? For DJ's, i picture geeky movie and TV buffs discussing the innards and outards of the episode or movie the track was from, taking callers. I think it'd make for entertaining radio. if not a whole station, maybe a 4 hour show on a current station on the weekends.

Cinemagic was one of my favorite Xm stations back in the day. far neater music than some of the crap coming out today :).
 
Again, just like hot talk, when you have something that's special in small doses and then make it a 24/7 format it gets burnt out.

The well for that material isn't very deep, nor are there 15 new releases every week to keep it fresh.

Cinemagic was on XM, and now is gone. That should tell you about the popularity of the channel in the long run...

I like live jazz recordings from the 50's. Just because I like it doesn't mean it should be a format. It's a business, remember? WEMP forgot that part of it and look what happened to the all news format.

It's not totally gone. You can get if you're an online Sirius XM subscriber or I assume in what they're calling the "2.0" receivers that carry more channels.
 
Cinemagic would work better on terrestrial radio as a specialty show than as an entire station.

On Broadway might work as a full-time station in the New York market, although anywhere else it would only work as a specialty show, if that.
