It’s part of the “Jack and Bob” trend. Radio stations are competing with people’s iPods, therefore some guy thought that stations should play a completely random mixture of crap you were sick of 5, 10, 20 or even 30 years ago. Hopefully the trend will die soon. Even a few progressive stations are using Jack and Bob promo models. Ick.
That explains why the new local ‘shuffle’ station followed up ‘Saturday in the Park’ w/ the theme from ‘Golden Girls’, I kid you not.
Admittedly, TC, I like it. But that’s mostly because Detroit radio’s becoming very extreme to both the mellow and hip-hop sides.
