Out of tune with listeners

[stoke]

You simply cannot kill radio. Once it starts to die and the annoying freaking adverts start to dissapear, then we will start listerning to it again. At the moment it's unpleasant.

Simple.

For me, Virgin Radio (UK) when at home and in the car Radio2000 in mornings and lunchtimes or Tuks fm when in range

1. I think Jacaranda FM announcer should rather say 'Jakaranda FM' - the 'Jacaranda' sounds incredibly cheap & kommin.

2. Who is the Five FM audience nowadays? I switched off long ago, might still listen to Sasha & IanF in the afternoon.

3. Highveld plays OK music during the day, I'm normally 'tuned in' to them.

Sasha and IanF "ok" sometimes when I listen to the radio and Dj Fresh is a really good replacement for garreth cliff, especially liked that one day when a chick called in and told fresh his show is much better than the gareth cliff show fresh couldnt even reply and the producers cut her off the air.

DJ fresh is the dumbest man on this blue earth...I've heard smarter ramblings from a large soggy reptile lying on its back on the bottom of a pool.

Interesting point, but I still see the web killing radio on am and fm. am and fm will only be used for public services stations. "In case of Tsunamis".

You forgotten about telkom - or are you a multi-millionaire?

The internet would already be an option - if not for telkomdemonmonopolies

No I didn't. Telkom cannot hold us back indefinately. Telkom and government may be a mountain or two in our way, but technology is already available that cannot be stopped. I think things have reached a point where the public simply need to ignore ICASA and government's antiquated rules and regs. (MY PERSONAL OPINION!!!!!)

Cheap affordable Inet, (via Telkom or not) will come...

We need to adopt an attitude of "Oh, Telkom doesn't want to give us this services at a good rate? Ah well, that's sad. Lets do it ourselves then..."

If thousands of people do it there is no chance in hell government can stop it without looking tyranical.

Thank goodness Barney Simon is still on SA Radio

I moved to Cape Town 2 months ago and I have stopped listening to radio. Always use to listen to Highveld.

ECR in durbs is cool

you kidding right ??????? Their music sucks, the dj's are a bunch of wanna be copycats who couldnt come up with an interesting/original idea if it bit them in the bum. Thank goodness for ipod, cd shuttles and internet.

Unfortunately I don't think this will ever happen. What about SAT3? Neotel oh sure. Until we have a dozen cables running between here and whereever nothing will change. Maybe a little cheaper but not. Though if telkom would dump the line fee - and the 3 gigs - and a 100 other issues maybe we would move forward. The rate we're going we're looking at another 10 years at least.

And just BTW - look at the fiasco with monochoice - anybody wants to broadcast here, via satellite or whatever: BooHoo. Sickening - how these companies love their entrenched monopolies!!!!

What would these guys success recipe be?

The music may not be to everyone's taste, but at least it's usually not irritating. Very few ads. And they have decent traffic reports, news, and finance news.
