Hey gang -
If you haven't stopped by the Y100Rocks.com site lately -
You Should!
There's pics and video from the PROTESTival, video links, and, we're broadcasting live more often! (Not that the non-live stuff isn't good - but I just thought I should let you know!)
We're (meaning all of us - the ex-staff and you) making serious noise, and people are hearing it. But the important thing to remember is that time, in the radio world, moves very slowly. BUT - the fact that the news media is still reporting things in the first place is proof that we're being heard! REMEMBER - We need to keep things going, and show them this isn't a knee-jerk reaction by a few people who happen to know how to use the internet.
By The Way: Tell your friends - especially if they're away at college! We're still getting emails from Delaware Valley residents who are just NOW finding out that Y100 no longer exists - and they're not happy about it either!
In the meantime, please keep checking the Y100Rocks.Com website, and make sure you spend some time listening to the webcasting - live or not! There's a lot of good music to hear!
On a side (and final) note - a student writer from Temple asked me what I thought of corporate radio. The article won't run for some time, but, I wanted to share my answer with you here - just as food for thought:
> The truth of the matter is that corporations also own resturants,
> hotels, drug stores, shopping centers, grocery stores, etc., and
> we all frequent them to varying degrees. It's bigger than just
> radio, really.And the fact is, corporations aren't going to go
> away - they're a part of our lives. As is the case with any
> corporate entity, some are run better than others; and
> some you may like, some you don't. But the long and short
> of it is, like in poltics, if you want to change the system, you
> have to work within the system that exists. And of course,
> you, the consumers, will ultimately decide which corporations
> will continue to exist and which ones will go out of business
> by choosing or not choosing their "products," whatever that
> product may be - hamburgers, clothing, cell phones, or radio.
Anyway - thank you all again for the continued and incredible support!
