Can someone explain what happened to Mediabase 24/7?

[cer1992]

I'm referring to the Mediabase Request 24/7 where you can go to a list of any radio station not only to see what songs are being played but to also request if you check whatever sonh you want. However, since around August, these Mediabase 24/7 pages have been blank and don't show the list of songs anymore. Can someone tell me what's going on and whether or not these sites will eventually return in the future?

I just checked, and you're right. I didn't realize they took it down. I would email someone from Mediabase 24/7 to see what the problem is. Hopefully, it will return if it's mentioned to them. Sorry, I couldn't be more of help.

Yeah, I noticed this a few months ago. I just thought maybe they locked it from public use and just accepted that we can't "request" songs anymore at radio stations.

I remember having a conversation with a radio DJ 1-2 years ago and he said everything was pre-programmed song-wise, but that I could make a "dedication or shoutout" and they could add that in.

Those lists were good for more than just requesting songs. You can also see what songs in particular are being played on that particular station, see when new songs are added, and see which songs have already "gone gold" and such but not anymore unfortunately :(

Is this why I’m getting an error that says

I’m wondering why mediabase 24/7 stopped posting their request playlist.

Mediabase playlist request form has been blank for at least two, I think Maybe five years.

Come to think of it the sites that we have turned to for information on the latest music have been disappearing. First Radio & Records, Then Americasmusiccharts.com, then BDS which used to have airplay data is gone, Now Allaccess.com maybe gone by the end of the month. What the hell is happening?

Radio is dying/evolving

I guess radio is always changing.

I think they took it down on purpose cause they didn’t try to fix it at all since 2018. Now we can’t see gold/current songs that each station is playing according to past favorites/current hits. It would be nice if they add it back even though now the songs from 2018 would be put in the past favorites section of the request forms.

Um… I think the pandemic is affecting that so they are like forced to shut down their website or most parts of it. All access purposefully kept certain parts open though.
