problem is the great bulk of fm radio stations these days are owned by a handful of conglomerates. in my market, denver, two companies own the top 14 (in ratings) stations. much of what you hear is downloaded hard disks with inner-cuts from other servers that replicate a "live" experience. my older son, who's a consultant to radio stations and music labels, puts together a nationally-syndicated radio show (i'll not divulge its name) in about 20 minutes, from his home. if you heard it, you'd swear he was in the studio when, in fact, he's watching the av's beat up the stars, from the $120 seats. -cfb
Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?
The dearth of radio stations that employ "disc jockeys" has spawned a whole generation of listeners who never hear their favourite songs and artists broadcast. In the "old days" every city had an avant garde FM station that would play all sorts of songs form a wide range of musicians.
I NEVER hear...Tanita Tikaram "Lovers in the City"...Emmylou Harris "Bang the Drum Slowly"...Daniel Langlois "Acadie"...or Eva Cassidy "Songbird", and so many others. Even the "oldies" stations don't venture far from the "top 100 Hits" list. Sad.
My 310E Scott tuner is getting sick of it!
What precious tracks have you NOT heard on the radio?
