So naturally I did what any decent Program Director would do... tested it in front of a live listening audience.
The results were staggaring. 98% "don't ever play it again," 2% "I like it." The nays win. I posted on the stations facebook today that we appreciate your opinion more than anything and we're listening... Taylors new song will "never ever" be played on this station again. Our facebook has blown up today with responses... positive to about the same percentage and we've gained 52 new "friends" simply for NOT playing a song LOL.
The best thing is that our in market competitor posted that "FTR we are playing Taylors new song because we believe in letting our listeners decide for themselves" and half the posts on their page are in support of us or just generally trashing Taylor and the song. Thanks for the added attention and support cross-town dumbasses. 
I realize not many of you probably care about this but it's made my day. It's the first time in 22 years in radio that I've banned a song. I should do it more often.
*shit thread*
**DJF sucks**
***and not a shit was given***
tl:dr Taylor Swift blows... and not in the good way |
Good, I wish more stations did that shit.. The country stations in KC are not country anymore.. Hell, 94.1 is suppose to be older country but they never play it. Then when they do it is all same shit all the time..
Same with the old rock stations and classic..
I ****ing hate pop country.. Give me the 70s to early 90s for country artists.. same with metal and rock.. I also have a soft spot for 80s pop music when it is its own station..
