General Discussion / Radio's Music Trials
« on: December 24, 2011, 12:51:51 AM »
Has your local radio stations done any "Music Trials" past or present? Those who don't know what it is, a DJ of the radio station is given an unknown song from a famous artist/group and they play it on the air at a certain time. And their listeners call in to see if they like it or they don't.
- Back when 100.3 in DFW used to be "KRBV Wild 100" (before Jack FM took over in 2004), they titled theirs' "The Wild Trials: Do It or Screw It".
- One person on another message board site said her radio station did "Jam It or Slam It".
- Recently, the music trials have returned to the DFW radio market, this time on Hip-Hop station 97.9 The Beat titled as "Smash or @$$". Smash if they like it,
if they don't. (I can't believe they let their listeners use that word on the phones. Then again, what Hip-Hop station doesn't use such language? LOL!!)
