I was today years old when I discovered there’s a video game that takes place in and around a radio station. It’s called Killer Frequency and so far it’s pretty cool, though I do raise an eyebrow at the lack of a cart machine.

Why don’t hosts acknowledge the firing of other on-air personalities?

As the fan of a Seattle radio personality that’s been fired twice in the last year from two different stations, why can’t or don’t the remaining personalities acknowledge what had happened? Is it to steer clear of listener backlash? Sometimes these shows pride themselves on being open, honest and frank when talking about their life experiences so it’s a little off brand to me that they pick up on the following broadcast acting like nothing happened. Thoughts?

Ratings while tuning into terrestrial radios?

I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not your favorite local station is getting ratings from people that use old school radios? Most radio stations now have apps where you can tune in that way, I assume they can tally those listeners digitally. I still listen to an old radio in my car and at home sometimes so is my listenership counted?

Former/current on-air hosts: What's "that song" for you?

What I mean is the song that you've played so much in your career that now you just hate it?

For example: the PD at my old station (a AAA independent station) was OBSESSED with Spirits by The Strumbellas when it first released, and we played it every single day, every single shift.

I viscerally hate that song now, so when it started popping up on Reels/TikTok, it all came rushing back.
