Radio vs Ipod

DJs defensive against Ipod assault

The iPod has become a radio station-in-a-pocket that pumps out thousands of songs, at random, from your very own personal hit parade.

No bad songs. No DJ chatter. No commercials.

I don’t buy this. If you lose your listeners, it means your radio show sucks.

I listen to Gold 90.5FM - the oldies channel. I enjoy the innane banter of Brian Richmond, the honey-tongued housewife Lyn Sa’adon and the friendly Audrey Ying.

They provide good music and say nice positive uplifting stuff all day long - making my day in the office feel a lot better then it should be. Other radio stations have a lot of negative energy. Gold 90.5 seems to focus on spreading good karma around.

I especially like the afternoon show where Brian Richmond makes Happy Birthday phonecalls to unsuspecting people.

Of course I would like to listen to the very latest in music. But I can’t stand the other ‘modern’ radio stations. I find the DJ’s juvenile, the commercials tacky and 80% of the playlist not to my taste.

That’s when I switch off the radio and pull out my mp3s.

i lurve class 95 morning shows. They are so funnie heh. As you grow older you realise the frequency of your radio decreases..

I like class 95’s morning show. Glenn, Rod and the flying dutchman. A good way to start your morning.

They talk lik 80% of the time. If not them yapping, its the ads. You only like listen to 8 songs an hour..
It was much better when Joe was around.

you sound like a nagging old man…. welcome to the club =P

Aiya.. but those guys in the morning show are adorable.

Agree with Mandrake. When they have ads, Class 95 sucks! But when they actually discuss something, it’s pretty good. FD, Rod and Glenn are the only radio DJs I can stand.
