Yep, most music play on radio stations is syndicated and centralized. You can hear the same “dj” in several different states now. Kinda started with the morning shows but now it fills up the entire day. Same playlist of 200 songs are played and various locations across the country. At least with country music, there’s some new stuff although “country” doesn’t necessary apply to it all. I listen to classic rock so it’s the same stale playlist over and over for years.
It’s like all other media. Half a dozen conglomerates control it all. I-Heart Radio etc.
What will the “liberals” do now as they failed to destroy him?
“...does anyone listen to radio anymore?”
Since Rush Limbaugh died?
iHeart Radio fills my every day, ending with Howie Carr and Jesse Kelly.
I did precede that with “Other than talk radio and sports”. It seems radio has lost all influence in music, at least for most demographics.
Rush was such a huge loss. I didn’t listen to much radio over the past 5 years but when I did, it was Rush. I just don’t find the others have any great insight or sources like El Rushbo had.
