Lets see if this works and how it does.... In an age when your smartphone can call up TV images from the other side of the world, it might not sound like a stretch to use it for programming a local radio station. But Cox Radio is making a bit of radio history today, turning Tampa Bay area alternative rock station WSUN-FM (97.1, 97X) into the first local station where every song played is chosen by fans through a free smartphone app. You can read the rest here: www.tampabay.com/features/media/tampa-bays-97x-pioneers-smartphone-radio-programming/1271218On a sad note, the airstaff is being cut although it says no one is getting laid off. |

Oh, I thought that the new concept for the Tampa station was having people called DJs playing the songs & sometimes talking in between songs instead of letting computers run everything.  |

No, they had DJs. Most do. Keep in mind, I didn't say they were LIVE. But they do have them.

All they're doing is replacing the request line with a cell phone app,it's the world we live in now.

You mentioned Tampa specifically so I didn't know if you had experience with the statioms here or not. Sorry. The drawbacks of texts with no expressions. |

I don't know anything about Tampa stations. I live in South Jersey, so I know more about stations in Philadelphia. All I know about Tampa is that they have a sorta OK hockey team, a mediocre football team, & a baseball team that gets no fans & plays in a crappy stadium.  |
