I salute you because I gave up!  Awww...at one time all three of Adam's songs were 1, 2 and 3. That was quite thrilling and my adrenalin was pumping then. Just a matter of time and fast clicking. I've got this down.........................  I gave up when Tresp was #1 for a full song & Pitbull came into #1 for 10 seconds and they played that instead. Then it happened again with Drake. I left. #badfan :( Also frustrating to see fans voting for NCOE. Trespassing needs the spins, not an old song. Hi, maddie!  Thank you! Had a great visit with my daughter! |

One really fundamental question: why does it matter where we are requesting from? I've been listening to stations from all over the world for many years and I'm hardly going to limit myself to local stations. (I had satellite for a while but then canceled my contract as well). We know that radio is operating from an antiquated business model that hardly seems to know Internet streaming exists. Is that why somehow out-of-area request are inauthentic? Or perhaps because those wouldn't be relevant to local advertisers/sponsors? I'm an NPR fiend, and they don't can't where I am listening from. I'll listen to my fave shows produced in DC, or Boston, or Philly. Doesn't make any difference. Is this because they aren't supported by advertising? Sorry so dense about this! You'd think I'd pick up a little being an armchair observer for four years but business is SO not my area. Some radio stations want only local requests and others do not care where listeners come from. It depends on the station's business model. US Commercial Broadcast stations need to sell ads and the majority of radio advertisers only care about local audiences. For example, if I have a car dealership in Boise, I do not care if someone in Ohio is listening to the station. Stations like Q102 Philly want online listeners and visitors because they sell lots of online ads. Public radio gets most of their funding from donors: NPR does not care where your are from because they shows are broadcast by stations all over the country. The local PBS stations care about local support because they need local donors. |

OK here is my confession. I am ecstatic that Adam is not going to be on idol. His talent is exquisite and far beyond mainstream. Yes, I want the massive viewership for Adam. I want the world to experience Adam's talent. I wanted Adam to get what he would like and yes, it would have been nice for him to stay in LA with Sauli and not have to travel as much for some time. But Adam has something that is without price.

You'd think I'd pick up a little being an armchair observer for four years but business is SO not my area. I personally don't think it matters. It is the computer age! I listen to Q102, Philly, on my phone thru their i- Heart radio app! I am in So California! Yes, it still matters. And many stations ignore out of market requests. The driver is money and money.  Most radio execs and some talent are compensated based on local broadcast ratings. Local Spot Advertising still dominates radio revenue streams, although it may have peaked in 2010. Digital advertising sales are increasing at a rapid rate but still make up a very small piece of overall revenue. Link: www.radioworld.com/article/clear-channel-revenue-up--in-/211940 |

I couldn't find Trespassing on 1029 and there was no box to type Trespassing into. |
