TRYING TO GET SOME JOE OUTTA KFOG/SF

As in negative 'tude? I felt the same way talking to the afternoon DJ yesterday.

"Sloe Gin"  should have been on new release Thurdays weeeeeeeeeeks ago. "Ball Peen Hammer" (among others) would get massive reaction on KFOG..........and if I hear "Stray Cat Strut" one more fricken time I'm gonna puke up a hair ball.

I really dont get it. KFOG is, if I'm not mistaken, the only radio station thanked in the liner notes (You & Me also) and zero airplay. Hell they even played a cut off of the Back Door Slam disc last night. What gives?

Maybe the payolla for play is still alive and well.

The KFOG that Joe included in previous liner notes not just Y&M, but on previous discs was owned by Susquahenna Broadcasting. They were bought about a year and a half ago by a company called Cummulus who also owns 107.7 The Bone and KNBR AM Sportstalk Radio. As a consequence I believe the DJ's have no control over what is played as they used to. Freeform FM is a thing of the past. If the program director eventually gets stroked appropriately maybe then Sloe Gin might hit the airwaves. KFOG's mantra used to be no repeats during the work day, but I heard the Eagles new single 3 times today. Is this coming in loud and clear? I don't think Joe's gonna see the light of day until somebody gets greased. I'm bound and determined to get to the bottom of this because I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!!!!!!!! WOW! pretty dramatic huh????

Ahh, now I see.  I was not aware they were bought out.  I also heard the Eagles new (old) single a couple of times.  So, my incessant e-quests are falling on deaf ears?  I've been requesting Ball Penn Hammer.  And this isn't the only artist this has happened to.  Last week I requested something by an artist who has been near and dear to my heart for 25 years on the  anniversary of his death.  That also fell on deaf ears (and KFOG plays him occasionally, but not enough).  Sounds like I'm removing them from my car radio program.

edited to add:  and as soon as I hit Submit, they play a commercial for next week's concert. There is some hope--just wish they'd play some JB.

Just got off the phone with KFOG's program director and he said they have been playing some of Sloe Gin. I haven't caught one yet, but I can't stayed glued to the radio. I asked if they were gonna feature him on New Releases Thur. and got a definite maybe (insert masturbatory hand gesture here). They are promoting the SF show, but nothing sells a live performance like a taste of the artists music. Keep up the e-Requests Street Teamers!!!
