Dear CHR Program Director

I have but a simple request: Here's something I'd love to see you do - something that would immediately make your radio station more fun to listen to.

Fix your processing.

Please?

Pretty please?

Pretty pretty please? With sugar and a little TSL on top?

"Unless your station is owned by the makers of Tylenol, Advil, or Bayer, you've got a problem. It's your processing."

It's downright painful. Vocals shatter. Hear it for yourself.

This may sound a little crazy, but your listeners...? Well, they're young women. And here's just one of many wacky traits young women tend to share: They often like to SING along with their favorite songs.

I wonder if, when those women sing along with songs on your station, they sing in warbles to match the songs.

Unless your station is owned by the makers of Tylenol, Advil, or Bayer, you've got a problem.

It's your processing.

It's an easy fix.

Please do.

Thank you.

Think About It:

  • Free FM:   The way to battle satellite radio isn't price. It's content. The fact that people are willing to pay for something they could get for free really speaks volumes about the content on terrestrial radio.

  • Off Air Talent:   Writing. Photography. Marketing. Events planning. There are so many ways of bettering yourself that have nothing to do with radio - yet these things have everything to do with success in radio.

  • It's The Content, Stupid:   They were naked on the floor - not even making it to the bed - when she said words that ended the evening: "Wait a minute, I have to tell you something..." Meanwhile, on my station...
