i have read, on numerous occasions, on this radio forum page , many comments from people who claim to have the know-how when it comes to radio. many , are times , when i have read comments that are from you guys that always leave me with a question in mind....
# DOES THIS PERSON HAVE INSIGHT AS TO WHAT GOES INTO OFFERING A KILLER RADIO SHOW?
# WHAT MAKES A SHOW THAT HAS LONGEVITY AND DOES NOT ONLY MAINTAIN ITS CORE AUDIENCE BUT CONTINUES TO RAKE IN NUMBERS?
# DOES A FORMATTED RADIO STATION MEAN THAT A DJ`S TALENT IS INDIRECTLY AFFECTED IN TERMS OF THEIR ON-AIR DELIVERY ?
# WHAT TYPE OF PRESENTING SKILL DOES IT TAKE TO CONSTANTLY BE ON TOP OF YOUR GAME AS AN ON-AIR PERSONALITY?
# IS IT A GOLDEN UNWRITTEN RULE THAT IF YOU START RADIO PRESENTIN ON A COMMUNITY , CAMPUS OR PUBLIC BROADCASTER, IT HINDERS WITH THE LIKELIHOOK OF ONE BEING TAKEN BY A COMMERCIAL BROADCASTER?
# WHAT IS THE CURRENT VALUE OF A PRIMETIME RADIO JOCK AND DO SOME OF THESE RADIO JOCKS DESERVE THESE HUGE PAY CHEQUES......
from my side i expect a lot of you to comment along the lines of commercial radio, but understandably so...
So guys, what show, if there is, epitomises what radio should be and for what valid reasons? Is there any jock that you know of that has reached his / her sell-by date? which station is , of late , irrelevent and is not sticking to it mandate? which jock makes you feel like kicking your radio set to pieces when you still find that they are still on air and are not making radio any justice.... which programmes manager has shifted thier respective stations for the better in as far as programming is concerned?
I would love to get your opinion on any of the fore-mentioned questions, trusting that we all share the same ideology ---- LOVE FOR RADIO.
