Dear CHR Program Director

I have but a simple request: Here's something I'd love to see you do - something that would immediately make your radio station more fun to listen to.

Fix your processing.

Please?

Pretty please?

Pretty pretty please? With sugar and a little TSL on top?

"Unless your station is owned by the makers of Tylenol, Advil, or Bayer, you've got a problem. It's your processing."

It's downright painful. Vocals shatter. Hear it for yourself.

This may sound a little crazy, but your listeners...? Well, they're young women. And here's just one of many wacky traits young women tend to share: They often like to SING along with their favorite songs.

I wonder if, when those women sing along with songs on your station, they sing in warbles to match the songs.

I wonder.

Unless your station is owned by the makers of Tylenol, Advil, or Bayer, you've got a problem.

It's your processing.

It's an easy fix.

Please do.

Thank you.
