jitterbug radio smackdown!

NOTE: This post is my own reaction to a post my batchmate/former high school classmate reposted for his blog (acidbluethinks.blogspot.com).

Radio stations are alot like TV stations. They do whatever they have to do provide quality entertainment better than the competition, even if it means going beyond the boundaries of morality. The difference however is that radio stations tend to be indirect in crossing-over to Sin City, sparing them from the glaring controversies hounding the many TV shows of our time. So, how do radio stations attempt to lure the ire of the censorship board? Through the DJs unconsolidated (and uncensored) jabberring. In an effort to add color to their shift, DJs usually get jiggy with what they say, may it be corny or dirty jokes (ie YesFm DJs), or a page off the hottest 'chismis' surrounding the current mainstream's celebrities (ie Mo Twister). Honestly, these mere words actually fiz in the ears. I once tuned in to Mo Twister's radio segment, and while I find his style innovative compared to the other lackluster DJs who do nothing but read greeting cards on air, I cannot discount his jabs towards showbiz personalities such as Erik Santos and Cristy Fermin. Recently I have found a liking on YesFm's playlist, although I admit I am getting tired of the DJs' cliche humor and that annoying, high-pitched, Mahal-esque voice. Still, I find the afforementioned radio programs (and all the others that I tune in for that matter) interesting and worth fizzing my ears for. Afterall, these radio stations are perpetuating their current style and playlist in accordance to the audience they have chosen to cater. True, WRR's style and playlist may frustate many people, but to the masses which have been chosen by the station to be its target, WRR's music is the best period. Sure, a lot of parents will cry 'foul!' upon hearing Mo Twister's verbal lineup stating that the youngsters who listen to him may be wrongfully influenced. However, it's pretty obvious that Mo and his comrades are not leaning their material on toddlers. Truth be told, not one single radio station (and TV station) can provide the entire nation what it wants to hear, mainly because everyone has his own taste. It is entirely impossible to create a single radio station which aims to please every people in all walks of life and age. Thus emphasizing the importance of choosing an audience.

We may not be seeing a radio progam rated G in the near future, but at least we know where to tune in or not.

*This is all opinion. Please comment for..commens. Hehe.

I think therefore..I have a brain

This is just great.

For some reason, I have lost my thinking prowess. I can no longer make up super-intruiging topics which I can write about in my awesome blog. Gosh. I should've had time to write more stuff. I am actually losing my edge. Tsk.
