Why does radio play out Music?

hello all,

I wanted to know why does the Radio like to play out music so much? I am not going to buy the album when it is stuck in my head if that is what they think. They should play the same tune every 10 minutes! It is annoying (in my opinion and UN-necessary anyone else think this?

Thanks BG Radio Network
Where the VIEWERS come first!

I used to hate it when they did that, I do not listen to the radio if I can help it because of that!

I am so tired of them doing playing music out! I try not to listen to the radio if I can help it! Why do they insist upon doing this?

maybe, but people listen to radio signals all the time, so as long as there are listeners, there will be radio, the most annoying is the fact of some stations playing the same songs in a loop several times a day.

That is exactly what this topic is about. I just want to understand why think this is a good tatic?

I have no idea, that is a great question Brandon, I wish I could catcher the owners of these stations, lock them in a closet, then make the listen to their station ALL day!
That would teach them!

Anyway I hope one day they stop doing this!

my guess would be because it makes them money

How does it make them money? The station has to pay royalties every time they play the song. If anything they lose money through this tactic!

maybe, but listeners tune in, and that's how a radio network makes money, because of the listenership

No, that how they become popular, they make money through commercials that nobody wants to hear!

also true

I honestly do not know why companies waste money on creating playing commercials it is stupid. I always change the station when a commericial comes on!

Well I think they like to hope it works, when in reality it does not.

Anybody change the station when a commercial comes on?

I DO! I do not wish to hear them stinking commercials? Anybody else change the station?

as long a people are wanting to be entertained, there will be radio stations broadcasting, unfortunatnely

Yes, but why do radio stations play out music? Why do companies waste millions each year radio commercials that are just pain, and most change the for. Each of those commercial just play costs something like 300 dollars!

one can always turn it off, just saying

Yes, but these companies pay like 300 Dollars per play to advertise on the radio/television and people usually just change the station.

Indeed they do... but they are in denial, however, their in denial is good for the radio industry though. Even if it is annoying! Does anyone else think so?

selling advertising space is how radio stations make most of their money, as many of them are privately owned. There is one exception to this here in Canada however, and that is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (which is government owned).
