correct, go get the shill. i was in a local station more than once in
my youth, and i got to pick my own playlist from 1000's of 45's. then
the jockey played them.

Must have been a bad station in a small market or a really bad on in a
bigger one. In any case, nobody who knows radio would call the person on the
air a "jockey." Jockeys ride horses. Disk Jockeys may be called DJ's or
Jocks, but they ain't called jockeys.

today, corporate america has ruined not only radio, but t.v. and the
papers. they have loaded them up with debt, and severe restrictions
that make them bland, conservative in nature, safe.

There are 14,000 radio stations in the US, and perhaps 1000 are burdened
with seemingly irresolvable debt issues. None would have had any trouble
were it not for the recession, so you are doing the equivalent of blaming
debt for the failure of Chrysler and GM, when it was the perfect storm of
labor commitments, bad designs and horrible quality that came about due to
the recession.

Yes, a few companies are in trouble in radio due to debt. Most are not.
