Radio hosts
Filed Under News, real life | Leave a Comment
I rarely listen to the radio, for the simple reason that most radio hosts tend to annoy me. They’re usually being exceptionally moronic and even radio channels where they claim to be playing “the most music” - the music usually interrupted by idiotic DJs often enough that I fail to see the point in advertising that they’re playing music.
That is why parts of the recent news about TV2 Radio in Denmark amuses me.
Because of low numbers, they’ve fired most of their staff (ok, not amusing) and are now operating on a low-manned schedule - playing just music, until the time comes to close the station.
The amusing part, though, is that their low listener numbers have actually increased since they got rid of their hosts - by roughly 300,000 listeners.
Business.dk speculates in that the reason for this is, of course, that since the decision to close the radio station has been out in the media, people want to know what they’re missing. … probably, but maybe also as they theorize - people might be happy to be rid of the hosts…
