Originally posted by skeeteri was watching richard and judy on the day it happened. (i was bored, there was nothing else on, i had no games waiting...). and they were talking to nole edmunds. he was showing off his latest buisness venture (some little 50cc car/quad bike thingy that was sooooooooooo cool!), and they got talking, as they do...
Yep, that was it. I only caught the end of it on CNN. Apparently there's some rule that it's not permissible tp play ANY Cliff Richard on that station. Seems a bit draconian even by Britain's standards.

"so, what do you think about tony blackburn getting suspended for playinc a cliff richard record?"
nole pauses..."erm-tony blackburn? of *names radio station*"
"yup"
"erm-i'm a board member of that station. i gotta make a phone call..."

and it was cause there were none of his songs on the playlist, so they weren't allowed to play them-but he's been playing them for a while...😛
Originally posted by dfm65Don't you see? That IS my problem. There has NEVER been a radio station that plays my kind of music, which sux because I listen to some of the most popular music in the world.
maybe if the radio is playing stuff you hate, you should just reach out and twist the dial...find some station that caters to your taste...
So, for example...
Billy Joel? Don't Play "Movin' Out." Play "Christie Lee."
Derek and the Dominoes? Don't play "Layla." Play "Keep on Growin'."
Stevie Wonder? Don't play "I just called to Say I Love You." Play "Another Star."
Dave Matthews? Don't play "Ants Marching." Play "Gravedigger."
The Black Crowes? Don't play "Hard 2 Handle." Play "Cosmic Friend."
311? Don't play "All mixed Up." Play "Stealin' Happy Hours."
Chicago? Don't play "Look Away." Play "I'm a Man."
Rusted Root? Don't play "Send me on my Way." Play "Martyr."
The Rolling Stones? Don't play "Satisfaction." Play "Loving Cup."
The Allman Brothers Band? Don't play "Ramblin' Man." Play "Rockin' Horse."
I've got a million more, but I'll stop here.

Originally posted by player420Well, what you need to do is ring up the station and tell them. Most radio stations give out their number during the commercial break, and allow requests.
