I was having a conversation with someone the other day, and we agreed that stations who have DJs are more personable than stations who go jockless. The station is doing alright.

I feel DJs are very important to general radio. Hmm... Also, I remember reading that post. I just never had a chance to comment on it. Nice station, but thats a horrible circumstance.

Computers are taking over many jobs in the broadcasting field (think about it—you can just set up iTunes to play music on a party shuffle and broadcast it, and I doubt people would know the difference). 94.9 The Sound is owned by Entercom. Entercom and Clear Channel have been taking steps to weed out DJs and replace them with computers. KGBY in Sacramento recently did that (check my blog—people are still posting comments today about something that happened three weeks ago), as did KBIG-FM in Los Angeles. Great music, just not the most personable stations. One of the major issues with radio these days is the dispoable need for disc jockeys.
