I guess how do you get people BACK to a radio?
You can't even find a radio anywhere.
I guess I'm the idiot that will have an AM-FM til I'm dead.
I know kids don't listen with transistor radios anymore, but I'm just blown away by this.
TOO, when I do hear people on the radio (they are local, saying calls, etc) they are, or seem young.
Certainly "cherry picked" vs the real "average aged" listener....
thus radio getting softer/blander/safer....
....and I still LOVE Top40/CHR, but too, a few years ago I noticed 90's/Y2K/"old" tracks tossed in with the current hits. Skewing older, BUT they mix like peanut butter and fish! They don't!
A 2023 song played next to a Britney Spears song,
IMO, is a trainwreck! Both are "Top 40" but different genres, if you will, from different times.
