A few mornings ago, the morning crew on the radio were discussing if the "radio Star" was, in effect, dead. Killed off by Video, other media, downloads and whatever.
I was thinking about it again today when listening to my favorite radio station in the car today. They have live on air personalities ONLY in the weekday morning...6AM till 9AM. After that, and all weekend it is simply just the music with taped station Id's.
I grew up in the 60's..and remember much prefering sitting and listening to the radio rather than TV, and all the personalities became familiar. You could call in dedications...or requests, and you knew there were people there. Now it is all technology at the stations.
Plus, do people listen as much as before. Even with Sattelite radio, unless it is talk radio there are no on air personalities like when we were young.
What do you think?
