Michael aka [EMAIL PROTECTED],
My response to your post about the Save Y100 petition was not
meant to be derogatory, nor did I mean you any disrespect. I want to
set the record straight with you and everyone else on this listserve.
I wrote what I wrote to accomplish 2 things. The first was to give you
my *opinion* about the current state of broadcast programming and the
issue of consumer choice of mass media content, specifically
electronic media ie music, radio shows, tv shows, etc. The second
thing I wanted to do was put out important information about the
reality of commercial broadcasting. Don't let what some of the other
members of this listserve turn my words into canon fodder. I've made
no judgements about who you are or what is on your mind. It's not for
me to say. My true intention was to show you that there may be less
futile and time-consuming ways of getting what it is that Y100 gave
you before.
Legally, demanding that Y100's owners give you the music you
wanted is like asking Ford to make more 2001 Mustangs after that
specific model is no longer being made. You can't get the folks at
Y100 to bring your content back, because it's more than likely not
there anymore. The times change music programming and there's no going
back on the decisions made by the packagers and station managers to
change format. If music shifts, if the public's desire for specific
types or genres of music shifts demographically, then the programming
eventually changes.
It's a stupid, antiquated system of programming content, I agree.
I'm on your side. Craig and Mark are two contrarians who have nothing
better to do than tear down everyone else's thoughts, ideas and
feelings. They do represent how I truly feel about this issue. I can't
stress this highly enough. The only reason I ever send a post to this
listserve is if I truly have something relevant (or perhaps comical)
to share with the group in discussing whatever the issue du jour may
be. In this case I happen to know a few things about radio, TV and
film production, marketing, licensing and in general communication
law. Comm major, BA Radio/TV/Film Production; Rowan University 1994. I
also work as a communications research techician/web developer at the
Annenberg School for Communication at UPenn.
Viva la digital revolucion!!!
