Radio

What is it about radio that causes people to call in to their favorite stations, singing their praises? Perhaps it is the same attraction as writing a blog. The people who call in say the most odd things sometimes.

A current ad on a local station has a listener saying it is her favorite station because of all the stations she listens to, it is the only one that has content to which she does not object. Does the comment mean she still listens to stations which play things to which she objects?

This lady reminds me of the old joke about the old lady who was talking to her friend about the obscene phone call she received. When the friend asks what happened, she replied that the man said the most nasty things... for a whole hour!

Another station has a listeners' club with points and prizes going to the members. Who could ever imagine that such a club would be successful; but it is ever successful. One man even called in and was recorded as saying he and his wife were both members He says, "I don't use it much, but my wife is on it all the time." Such exciting stuff to brag about and use in an advertisement.
