They didn't want my opinion. I've done the phone surveys in the past and got turned down when a friend told me how to go to one in person and get paid.
The station already knows what they want to play, they just want to justify it. They have expressed no interest in appealing to me as a listener.
OH I know it. Clear Channel has that scam in just about every market because their regional PD's all want the same 25 songs in rotation...no matter what.
As for the satellite stream...there are shows at this link...

where people do radio on huge major market stations from their home bedroom in their robe and slippers and contest callers call into a 1-800 line if they are giving anything away...all they do is hit a button with a pre-programmed city in the stream and it goes to that station. ABC Radio Networks has 4,700 affiliates...you do the math...that is some seriously LAME radio.
