Do fans have any say in what is played on Radio?
Radio Stations invite fans to complete surveys and "Tell the Station" what they want to hear. In reality the fans is rating songs that have been pre-picked by the Station Programmers.
And what if a fan wants the Station to play a Song that is NOT on the playlist and not on the Survey? Even if the Song fits the Stations' format, it won't happen.
Can someone she some light on how the Process works from an "Insider's" persepective?
Thank you
