Default Re: Do we still need radio DJs?

Hint - besides college radio, maybe, no radio stations actually take requests. They have predetermined rotations, and unless your request just happens to be coming up in that playlist, you're not hearing it.

Not entirely true. I have texted odd requests to stations here in St. Louis and they have been played within 60 min.

Also, one station just ran a promo where every hour they would play a 5 song list that a listener submitted online. Far and away the best month of music from any station ever. Most of the lists were generic but many were songs that never get airplay. Nice.
