ATTN: REV, question about the radio station[views:2193][posts:6]_________________________________________ [Jan 27,2005 12:56am - mike......... ""] at UNH do you guys have to play a certain amount of songs off of a top 20 list or adds or anything? or do dj's have full control over what they play? im starting my radio show on friday and we have to play 8 songs in a 2 hour show from a top 30 list and 5 adds. its really lame and totally defeats the purpose of college radio, in my opinion. |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 27,2005 7:29am - mike......... ""] thanks, im just wondering because the policy we have is really shitty. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2005 7:47am - the_reverend ""] specialty shows have no restrictions. general programming has a 60% new restriction, meaning that 60% of your show has to be out of the releases that have come out in the passed 8 weeks. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2005 7:50am - the_reverend ""] oh and the cds/lps from the passed 8 weeks ~= 200 we also do a top 50, http://www.wunh.org a station that has a policy like yours sounds like they "make up" the top 35 from what the radio industry wants and not from actual spins. I would find out how they calculate it. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2005 8:11am - the_reverend ""] they don't tell me that anymore... unless it's an over zealous newbie at an industry job. if they tell me that I have to play something or they wont service WUNH, I tell them that we wont play anything from their label anymore. that usually changes their tune. |
