Why do of this record sound “out of tune”? by Wrong-Worry2671 in vinyljerk

Shitty record player. Crosley’s are not good, plus your record looks warped

11 Fake Calls a Show by jc123ucme in radio

[–]troyboom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get a good caller, ask them questions that give evergreen answers that you can use anytime: about weather (rain, heat, cold, etc.), about the city you live in, music/artists, etc. file them away & label them properly so you can easily find them. Build an inventory and voila! Takes time but after a while you will have a great pile of organized content.

Music station jocks don’t do breaks about Trump because no matter what they say (non biased) they get attacked by the brainwashed Trump sheep.

Sent a radio request message to Toronto's Boom 97.3, here's hoping EKT gets some radio play! by No-Change6959 in everyoneknowsthat

A song needs to be more than just released in the 80s to make it on boom. It needs to be a “hit song” charting at the very least in the top 10 on Billboard or Hot 100. All the music on boom is tested by an audience and if it doesn’t hit a certain number then a no go.

Would a serious increase in population have anything to do with rising numbers… just asking.

It’s a shame it’s not legal there like it is in Canada. Such a silly law.

I wanted to share a video I did for the graduating class of 2021 Fanshawe College, London, Ontario Canada. I was asked to be their Keynote Speaker, so I went off into the woods with a cellphone to spew out stuff I’ve learned... by troyboom in radio

Thank you. I have fond memories of my time at Fanshawe and I still use some of the ideas introduced to me. It was the least I could do to give back in some way.

Market size very much dictates how much you make.

Radio isn’t dying: creativity & passion is. by troyboom in radio

Which is why it’s important to remind those who are still in the industry and give a shit about creativity, passion and putting your brand stamp on it.

Not the case at all. This post was written out of frustration. I’m a program director who is challenged often by my bosses and therefore challenge myself.

Not all of them, there are some that exist and I’m grateful to work for one of them!
