i agree 100%. did 5 years in radio myself. for clear channel.
you're absolutely right. about everything you said.
: Now Clear Channel is saying that this list is merely a suggestion to
: its stations, and that none of them are required to ban any of the
: songs on the list.
: Having done time in radio, it wouldn't surprise me if there was an
: actual ban, but when the list became public (it was never meant for
: the general public to see), the consultants back peddled to avoid the
: bad publicity. The whole thing smacks of typical stupid radio
: consultant's thinking.
: After all, a radio consultant is nothing more than a guy who couldn't
: actually "make it" in radio himself, so instead, he makes his living
: telling everybody else how to do it. If you don't like what you're
: hearing on the radio, these are the guys to blame.
