had to vent

if you know me, you know i'm really into my music. i even have a minor in ethnomusicology. when i moved back home after college, i had the privilege of working at my FAVORITE radio station. i was elated! unfortunately, my life situations didn't allow me to stay.

so here i am in bed, pissed at the current situation. every so often, the powers that be try to switch things up at the station. they try to rock us (the station and it's faithful listeners) on it's side and try to aide the rival station and make them #1 status. soooo frustrating! the first time i remember this occurring was in high school when they hired the dumbass baka boys for the morning show. they let go of one of my favorite morning shows for a second rate show that was on the side of irritating. the station continues to let me down with lame syndicated shows like the big tigga show on the weekends. but i simply try not to listen at that time.

today, i've found out that they have done it again! they let go of one my favorite personalities. such a disappointment. the show was very entertaining and even had #1 ratings. i guess being #1 doesn't mean anything to the powers that be. especially when they are trying to promote the rival station. a station that can never achieve the heights and status of my favorite. my favorite station is sooo reknowned and known by artists all over. there are so many times when i hear artists mention the station, stating that we helped in shaping hip-hop as culture and bringing it to the forefront.

i don't understand why the powers that be can't simply keep the #1 shows on and run with the success. why do they feel the need to bring the #1 station down and promote a station that strives for a higher status with little results every time?

all i have to say is BIGGGGGG mistake! i'm starting to lose my faith in radio...
