It was. When Live365 went and changed their format to where I had to boot up each song individually rather than being able to boot up a 50 -55 minute segment (with an average 3 hour show produced weekly) - it gave them a five minute sweep at the top of the clock for their ads and ID purposes...I made sure I peppered each "hour" with Live365 plugs and ID's as well - at quarters and half...ran a tight clock to try and keep it as "pro" as probable....I bailed. I wasn't "paying to play" without having the ability of doing tight segues and music builds in a set. L365 wants their adverts between each and every song booted up...giving the airhost no creativity at all in programming...to speak of....

Wound up going round and round with the admin people at Live365 until they finally admitted there was little to no hope of them ever bringing a format back that would allow decent internet radio programming to happen....

All that having been said...

My style of radio was based on KFAT (a wonderfully rebellious station I had in my life in the 1970's) and KPIG (the evolved product of KFAT) where I finally got behind the airhost chair on graveyards in the late 1980's...a time slot on radio I dearly love...damned automation has all but killed that, though...(the live airhost doing graveyard hours)...

Current incarnation of KPIG - listen here...

Sigh.....

Ramblings of a frustrated radio artist.
