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.

Think About It:

  • A Pig On A Seesaw:   There is absolutely nothing wrong with radio. The transmitters still work. Car radios still work. Clock radios still work. The radio in the lobby of your dentist's office still works too. All of this equipment is functioning perfectly. 100% A-OK. Trust me. I checked.

  • A Fresh Coat Of HTML:   Welcome to This Is The Box, version 3. This is technically version three and a half. I scrapped an entire 'new' design due to the fact that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is a bug riddled piece of web feces.

  • The Downfall Of Radio Is The Downfall Of Man:   Eventually, radio will either be wiped out by the internet or it will merge into it. The determining factor will be the strength of each individual radio station's content at the point in time when AM and FM radio listenership truly collapses.
