From eight comes five
Don Day | June 7, 2008KJOT/J-105 is planning to turn the weekend over to listeners – and is asking folks to put together custom playlists. Folks can dial up j105.com and submit their list of eight songs – which the J-105 folks will turn into a list of five songs that it will throw on the air during those weekend mornings and afternoons.
Here’s a great idea. Why doesn’t J105 do a top 500 count down of the most requested rock songs in the Treasure Valley. People would log on to the web site for a month and request songs. Then, after a month the requests could be tallied and that would be a top 500 count down. Remember when KQFC did something similar to this back in March of 1994. Or J 105 could do a top 1000 count down of the top 1000 most requested classic rock songs of all time. Remember when 96.9 The Eagle did this years ago back in December of 1993 and at midnight eastern on New Years Day of 1994 we heard the most requested classic song of all time. This was back when The Eagle was either Rock 97, or Classic Rock 97. I can’t remember witch.
That was a great satellite feed they broadcasted out of Dallas. I did go to see the studios in which those music feeds are out of by the way. It was a very educational experience. I will talk to you later.
