WHY does anyone program a station (clocks, add/drop songs, contesting, formatics,) only to have a countdown show, slow-song Sunday night, or some Back-in-the Day hits weekend show?
IE: (I'm in Michigan's UP) Listening to a National Countdown show. You certainly on your station don't play 40, or the 40 on the National Chart. I heard 5 songs I didn't know (including up & comers) and moved on. To sit through all the "filler" to get to #1 or the top 10, is something I guess I have no patience for. Now, later, it'll be another syndicated show and possibly another.
(IE: you have POWERS, Hit, re-current GOLD, etc) ... not the waiting for a song, etc. It just breaks all the formatics, my guess.)
So, you work hard and are under pressure to get
good numbers (24hrsx5days) 120 hours a week only to have the weekend filled with anything but "local" or in-house programming.
Many are sadly running weekend, overnights & even nights jockless, so why not continue to format?
Hope I explained myself or the question properly.
Thank you for your time/patience.
THIS is for ANY FORMAT:
Top40/CHR: see above,
Talkradio: Infomercials abound.
News: Face the Nation, Meet the Press type shows.
