Yeah, I thought that might get some attention. The truth of the matter is, in some respect, I don't fit the demographic. Let me 'splain...
Afte taking the time to download some new CDs and my Friday morning podcasts I forgot my iPod at home. I was distracted (totally my fault) by the kids and just left it there next to the computer. This meant rolling with the radio if I wanted tunes. I tuned into 103.3 Jams, one of the local "urban contemporary" stations here in KC. I heard a new song by Fabolous and another from Mary J. Blige's album but the majority of it was the three-note, finger snappin' garbage polluting the airwaves these days. Then it was time for the commercials. This was where I determined that I am not the demographic that Black radio stations cater to typically. I do not own/want dubs for my car. I am not trying to get years of late child support payments from a deadbeat parent. And since I didn't know about it last year, I seriously doubt I'll be in attendance to the local Second Annual Freak 'Em Dress Ball. The only commercial that appealed to me was one for the Steve Harvey Show, and I hardly ever listen to that either.
Am I missing something here? Is everyone who listens to urban radio in a complete financial state of disarray? It's reasons like this that I don't subscribe to Clear Channel/Radio One way of getting new music.
