666 takes the crown

I actually like ABC but admit to flicking stations as soon as someone irritating comes on.

The ads are a factor when trying to listen to the commercial stations.. Does anyone else think it’s odd that 104.7 interrupts ‘ad-free’ 50s with ads to tell us we’re listening to ‘ad-free’50s??

And as for pale imitations of major metros, wankers like Sandilands, Fifi Box, and Jacqui O on sydney radio are some of the most annoying humans on the planet… along with that SGS dude

At least ABC radio doesn’t have more annoying ads than crappy commercial pop music.

Plus it can be quite fun to listen to Stanhope dithering on a Friday between 9am and 11am when people phone in to tell him what a crappy job he’s doing. I really enjoyed the one where the woman wanted to know why Canberra Hospital had to raise funds for a laser thingy for premmie babies through public donations, while the Stanhope govt was paying a similar amount for a statue of a dead (and not unanimously popular) politician.

They’re all pretty crap really. Pale imitations of the major metro stations – and they’re bad enough…

I have no doubt there is. I guess I’m not a radio person and thus couldn’t care less which station is rating higher and why that might be.

Having said that, as a business owner who has used radio advertising before, I hope they all rate poorly so they drop their advertising rates 😀

It’s the town we’re in Cameron, and don’t think there’s not a big pile of cash up for grabs.

Canberra radio ratings. Talk about your multi-million dollar battle for the love and adoration of millions of fans.

Not.

The sample group has though.

The trouble there, SGS, is the methodology hasn’t changed from the last survey.

In response to Captain America, yes but not to the exclusion of all others, which is probably one of our big differences.

On the subject of the radio ratings, I think one of my contributors, Tim, made quite a bit of sense on the matter.

Perhaps those who listen to ABC are those with more patience, and hence would be able to fill out a 15 page radio survey? And those who listen to the commercial stations would get bored and turn them off if there was a lack of music for 3 minutes?

Oh c’mon, there are two sorts of windows users,

Those forced to use it, and the stupid ones.
