Radio Stations, in general suck

Radio stations enjoy promotion how much music they play compared to other stations. 12 in a row. An hour...commercial free! Stuff like that.

But the thing is, they interrupt their twelve in a row or commercial free hour to tell you that they're going twelve in a row. It's no longer twelve in a row! Or if station decides to say "This is an hour of commercial free music as SUCKS101.3," it's no longer commercial free. You just ran an ad for your own station.

It's the "less talk" ads that really bother me. Because to tell you they're less talk, they must talk and talk repeatedly. Just seems a bit counterproductive to the message they're trying to send.

Maybe if they actually did any of these things they wouldn't have to try to pound it into our heads. Try showing, not telling.
