Come on everybody let's get on the MTV train. The music is not the purpose of these radio stations. If it were, you would never see Gwen Stefani sit at the top for so fucking long with her bullshit playground chant. It is simply marketing. If you can mold a market to buy your products on a grand scale you no longer need to "Find a need and fill it". Just make a shit product and tell everyone they need it to be cool. "That new Gwen Stefani cut is the greatest, it has been in the top 3 for 10 weeks" "Really? I love Gwen Stefani, she has great clothes, I wish I looked like her" "You can, just buy $X$X$X$X$X$ brand bullshit clothing made in a sweatshop of substandard cloth and build so it will fall apart much sooner than less expensive clothing, forcing you to buy more $X$X$X$X$X$ to be cool again" "Wow, it seems so easy, good thing my parents are rich and I haven't learnt the value of money! All this must be true too, because MTV says the same thing." /rant Sorry all, for the rant. While I am aware that marketing is neccessary for business, this is brainwashing. I am new here from the states, and I love it here. Even though I dislike RKFM's nomal playlist, it is in my program list for the specials they pull together for the weekend and evenings. If you want to see a radio station that is more towards music, try: http://www.c895fm.com They put together a decent playlist, but everywhere you go you will still see the same trends. Thanks for letting me vent, John. RKFM is the same repetitious playlist you hear the world over, the song may change but the purpose and result are the same.

I like her the most because she is the only one who cares and replies back to her listeners. So, half of what you mentioned was untrue. Q, DJ Maha is the best alright.

I suppose if they would just make the playlist LONGER, it would improve things a whole lot. oh and get rid of the seriously fucking rediculous lawerence of arabia score or whatever sad mustafah lee music they play during prayer time. the first time i heard that i thought the channel was out of whack. even fucking silence is better than this psuedo-religious tripe. firing dr laBullshit on the air would be jsut about the best thing to ever happen to the station.

Dr. Labouche should be fired on air live just kicked out of the studio. The main issue with the DJs is they talk at you, not to you. Marina creates this conversation between the DJs and with their listeners. You enjoy listening to them for its listening to a conversation that your a part of. RKFM DJs just babble and banter to hear their own voice. Also create some listener involvement. Have listeners call in and well talk. It will be great during the rush hours in morning and afternoons when we are all stuck in traffic and want to do something. Its the DJs they are just the worst.
