NO STATION IS PERFECT

No station is perfect... can you think of one? People complain about something on every station. Just think about it... "They don't play enough east cost hip-hop", "they need to play more r&b", "they need to play old school hip-hop", "they running too many syndicated shows", and the list goes on and on and on.

It's not that everyone wants to be a Program Director. Radio is art and art is interpretive. You interpret it one way and someone else will interpret it another. Think about music... you love the song but no one else does and you can't understand it.

Look, it's ok to have an opinion about the station, its music, format, promotions, etc. But this job is not about pleasing everyone all the time, it's about pleasing the majority most of the time. That's why you have different formats. If you like hip-hop you can listen to the hip-hop station and if you like rock you can listen to the rock station.

I know you think the station should do what you like, but remember... no station is going to be perfect to everyone.
