EDITOR'S COMMENTARY:

"As If We Didn't Already Know?"

Today, the Billboard Radio Monitor released a
report titled, "Non-Comm Analysis Confirms
Radio Listening Decline." And, as if that was
any news to the general public, it cited the
reasons of:

* Other technologies (hmm...what could those be?)

* Loss of the radio habit (translated "boredom")

* Spot loads (I'm assuming they mean "advertising
overkill," but don't hold me to that)

Now, I don't know about you, but I see a very crucial
element that is missing, and I'm hard-pressed to
determine if it was omitted intentionally, or merely
an oversight? What am I speaking of?

Well, the MUSIC, that is. Let me conjure up a few
pointers...

* Perhaps, listeners are tired of hearing talentless
major label bands, singers or whatever so similar,
that they can no longer tell the difference in the artists.

* Perhaps, just perhaps, mind you...listeners are
equally frustrated with hearing the same song ground
into their psyche every thirty minutes to the point of
their having nightmares.

These reasons alone are why Internet radio
broadcasters, like musicians of today's industry,
have the perfect opportunity to take advantage of this
gradually declining element of their broadcast radio
counterparts.

Back in the day, radio station formats were diversified,
which is largely what made it so interesting. For
instance, you might hear Elton John during this four
minutes, and might hear Earth, Wind & Fire during the
next four minutes.

However, some "businessman" later got the bright
idea to conduct a demographic session by dividing
up music into markets for the purpose of marketing
certain products to certain listeners more succinctly.

However, they never foresaw the coming situation
that we have today with "listener apathy."

I, on the other hand, foresee a possible return to the
multi-format radio of yesterday. I, mean, why not?
The industry might as well, since mixed genres, i.e.,
Hip Hop/Rock, Country/Rock or RnB/Rap are
becoming as commonplace as my mother's
cheesecake during holidays.

As a listener or musician, what would you like to see...
the continued segmentation of broadcast radio, or
would you prefer a "mixed bag" format?

If you would like to discuss it, meet me at

to discuss what can, potentially, become a serious
issue for all musicians, in respect to listenership.
