I understand but re is something special about the spontaneity of radio...divine even, the way some music capture or recall certain moments. Or when you think of a song, and it happens to play.
Also...the DJ’s become like people you know sometimes...just saying. :)
I respect your position and sentiments but should point out that many stations and air shifts are entirely prerecorded thus making the ‘connection’ even more suspect.
I really don’t want to be this cynical but many station owners are miles worse than me.
