Event Recap Chat with Sounds of Christmas

or do you think sponsors would never support it

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

I don't think they could get enough advertisers to support it. And they probably couldn't convince their suits that they could find an audience for it, either

A another radio station on WDQN stunted to christmas music. and THEY PLAYED FOOTBALL TOO

 

[ColeThePony]

THEY PLAYED A COVERAGE OF FOOTBALL ON-AIR ON A CHRISTMAS STATION

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

80's radio could thrive online. But at a traditional station, it rarely lasts. They're afraid to do anything out of the box

 

[ColeThePony]

@SoundsofChristmas Some stations do totally 80's weekend like on boom 97.3

 

[drseuss1217]

hence why streaming stations are getting more of the listenership

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Exactly @drseuss1217

 

[Jeff Westover]

You're describing exactly why so few of us flip on a traditional station any more

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Right?

 

[drseuss1217]

or even Sirus satelite but they seem to have there price also

 

[ColeThePony]

Here's a little example, @Jeff Westover and @SoundsofChristmas

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

It's like the way they treat Mariah Carey. All IWant gets played over and over and over. But I think her version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is really good, too, and you rarely hear that

 

[ColeThePony]

What do you all think of Totally 80's weekend?

 

[drseuss1217]

Sure, Artists get labeled to one song and thats what gets pushed

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Depends. If it's the same short list of 80's songs they already play, I'd pass

 

[Jeff Westover]

I read somewhere that Frank Sinatra hated the song "Strangers in the Night" because they played it to death on the radio

 

[ColeThePony]

boom 97.3 has some Canadian 80's songs.

 

[Jeff Westover]

And every time in concert he had to sing it he called it "that effing song"
