John, Z95 when they were going through their "hell" phase would also tell the listeners (not verbatim) Hey we are playing music, B96 are playing commercials again. Don't believe us? Go check, we will wait for you. (pause for bit) See we told you. Hell 947!

LIVE was live!
Competition made you better!
Charts? I'd always look at song XYZ than moved 17-14 on Stn A and 16-19 on Stn B. Was actually at a record store when WMYX (99.1 Milwaukee) had called and asked for their Top 10 in sales.

What I'll look at is how one group deems a song a hit and they turn out to be bombs!
I look at charts weekly and sadly, several groups, play the same songs at basically the same times, only with different liners.

I've gone days/weeks without listening, of late.
"our app" "our socials" and of course the "excited cue card" reading.
And too, one jock is on how many stations, voice-tracked.

ASIDE: Was listening to a station up here (Upper MI) and Infinity Sports Network had 5 mins of commercials, came back to plug phone 3, and 6 MORE minutes of commercials. So, 12 minutes wasted. "We're taking calls the rest of the hour" (at :40) and idiot who was on hold (as he said) "most of the show." Too, they still play "CBS Sports Radio jingle. PATHETIC!
