Somebody shoot that DJ!
Are you fed up with DJ’s on the radio who don’t play rock and heavy metal? Did you ever submit a request to have your favourite song played, only to wait all night and not actually hear it?

It’s the same old story on the radio and at the local nightspot. "Text us your requests" or "please keep the requests coming in and we’ll play your favourite song for you". They never do, especially if you request rock or heavy metal.

| 29-1-2010 | oh yeah, and our music is scheduled, sometimes weeks in advance by our program/music director, the DJ's literally get yelled at for playing requests if they dont follow ALL The rules. | MediaMessy |
| 29-1-2010 | I'm a radio DJ and there is a whole mess of rules you have to follow with music. For example, songs in our station are categorized under letters by relevence and you can only replace songs in the hour that happen to come up inder one specific letter category. That being said you also cannot p...more | MediaMessy |
| 13-11-2009 | Ram FM, all they do is re-shuffle ninty-nine per-cent of the the songs that they had on yesterday, and they have been doing this for at least ten years, we have to have it on at work,
At my same workplace in the late seventies, we had an eight track cartridge player, piping music to the shop flo...more | Gainsborough lad. |
| 05-11-2009 | They banned a song by De Rosa called Under The Stairs because he sang the word piss in the lyrics | Janice |
| 11-12-2008 | I agree too.
On many occasions, particularly on bank holidays, christmas etc, on Radio 1, they have a "10-hour takeover" show, where you can send in your requests.
A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to the Saturday Request Show, and texted in to hear a Girls Aloud song (yes, I ...more | Peejay M |
| 29-11-2008 | And DJs don't pick the songs, management do, said Tom a few entries ago. I am lucky I am involved with a small compeatley independan internet radio station, All of the music is chosen by the presenters/DJ's and we will play requests. Each show presents a diiferent style of music from Rap, wh...more | Rock_Is_King_259 |
| 29-6-2008 | I agree wholeheartedly with the words in the original gripe as I had the same problem in the 80's (and, ironically, the music was a whole lot better then although I never realised it at the time). I got frogmarched out of a nightclub once because I dared to question the DJ's choice of music...more | thebes1966 |
| 08-6-2008 | I agree with you to an extent, on request show's dj's do seem to play what they want to here. I understand the comment about the management picking the music, in the case of gwr group it picks the music for nearly every independant station in the uk, that's why you can be listning to lei...more | Chris Leic |
| 19-2-2008 | Tom is right, the DJ does not have a say what he plays on air. It's a tight schedule to run by and if by any chance there may be a few mins to spare, he may get to play a request.
A friend of mine used to help out BFBS in Kosovo, he had his own radio slot. Could he play any requests? Not a...more | Peter |
| 06-2-2008 | Local radio is the worst for this, I think they probably don't have as many cd's to play as some people (me included) have in their record & cd collection! Our station say they play more music variety. More than what?
I think there is a gap in the market for a radio station that plays ...more | Sueps |
| 13-1-2008 | Hey all tune your radio to a good talk show station and put a CD in your machine when you want to rock or what ever you want to hear. Besides if you haven’t noticed...when ever you listen to request hour it's always full of requests they all ready play during non request time...have fun an...more | Crashn |
| 10-4-2007 | Okay Tom, fair cop; I was a bit annoyed and let my temper get away with me for a bit so sorry for that.
"If you're a DJ on a pop station" : That's my point really, because they are practically ALL pop stations here in the UK and because radio DJ's can't or wont play anyt...more | RR |
