I had an interesting conversation with a woman on the phone today. My day job is working for a morning show on a radio station in Baltimore. This woman called up because she had some concerns with what had been airing over the weekend. To give you some background, Clear Channel Radio has opted for a new music programming plan that means all stations of each format will be playing the same music at the same time. Basically it's one playlist that is copied by all of the stations at certain times. For example, mine only takes part on the weekends. Here's the conversation...
Woman: I have a question. I was listening to your station, the one out of Dover and Froggy on the Eastern Shore and all weekend long you guys were playing the same music as each other. What's up with that?"
Me: Well Ma'am, that's a new thing that Clear Channel has started. They figure it will save money in the long run since they don't have to pay people to schedule individual music programs. They can do them all from one place."
Woman: Oh. I was going to say, Obama has only been in office for a few months and already he's taking away our radio stations.
Me: Ummmm, I can assure you, he had nothing to do with this decision.
Woman: I was just making sure.
Seriously? Her first thought is that Obama had something to do with. I have a feeling he has bigger things on his plate like a national recession, North Korea threatening with nuclear tests and let's not forget the collapse of the American auto companies. I don't give a damn what people believe as far as politics goes but this is just ridiculous.
Anyway, here's what made the show tonight. I hope you enjoy. Remember to give me any feedback you have. I love to hear from you all. jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com
