When you're working in public radio, you don't have any money to advertise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you can afford to advertise, you don't need to.
The public doesn't particularly care for advertisements.
Public radio is the last oasis of free and independent music. For satellite radio channels, you have to subscribe; commercial stations are as corporate as basic cable.
Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.
Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.
I rarely listen to commercial radio, and when I do, I'm shocked by how many ads there are, and how annoying they are, and how bad the radio station usually is.
Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
The radio is not show fun, it's show business. It's money.
Our records are commodities. We're looking to make a sale. The radio stations are looking to get the advertising dollars. The end.
