I just want music. I would create a radio station with the simple but meaningful “more music” slogan.
I would plan for my radio station to only have two ad breaks an hour. The first break would be at :15 past the hour. The “hook” to get the audience to listen to the three minutes of ads would be the promise of more than 30 minutes of non-stop music after the break.
The hour’s second ad break would be at :52 past the hour. The “hook” to get the audience to listen to the next 3 minutes of ads would be the promise that after the break would be “the most requested song from this hour”
After the most requested song would be a 60 second news break and then straight into three or four songs in a row. I am so sick of the amount of ads and talk that some of commercial stations can play on the hour. It’s often a few minutes of ads, news, more ads and then finally back to the music.
Thus, my station would be ad free from 5 to the hour until 15 past the hour. It would also have 30 minutes of non-stop music every hour.
24 Hours a Day. 7 Days a Week. Every Hour. Every Day. More Music.
I would love a station with live DJs, local DJs and a total commitment to play as much music as possible. It would be the music frequency.
I think they changed the positioner, “the difference is the music”. However in the guide there is still 70s to now beng used when it is pure automation.
6:00am-10:00am: Breakfast with Kyle and Jackie O
10:00am-6:00pm: Non-stop music from the 50s 60s and 70s, no commercials
6:00pm-7:00pm: Sports Tonight with Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson

9:00pm-11:00pm: Non-stop music from the 80s and 90s, no commercials
11:00pm-12:00am: Wacky Music (TV theme songs etc.)
7-minute news bulletins air at the top of each hour, covering news, sport, weather and a traffic report from a traffic reporter in a helicopter.
Brooklyn Ross will read the news on K&JO.
From 10am-6pm, Jane Holmes announces the title and artist of each song before it begins, and David Armstrong (10-2) and Tony Tardio (2-6) read the news. There will be no commercials during this eight hour period, so it’s just news at the top of the hour then non-stop music until the next news bulletin.
In the evening, Denis O’Kane covers news from 6pm-9pm, and Natalie Peters from 9pm-12am.
Yes, that puts K-Rock and The Billy Bob Show to shame Alan Stoner in the morning would work better if you’re programming it like a community station, then Vile and Tacky-Ho on Drive or Evenings with the ‘Freshest Hits’. I do like the hour of ‘Wrong Songs’ at night, though.
I’ve started work at a new place and get control of the Bluetooth speaker when I arrive. I’ve been playing stuff from my personal Apple Music “station”, this seems to be popular but after 4 days it seems like it can be repetitive with songs.
I tried the Apple Music Classic Hits “station” this afternoon and found that it’s a good mix of 70s to 2010s and more adventurous than radio. Might be my go to for now.
