CD Center Stage
 

there's a show on the radio here called CD Center Stage, one a week, where they play a whole CD from a new release, prior to it's release. Very cool I think.... get to hear a new CD before it hits the stores so you can decide if it's worth getting.

Is this on anywhere else or something similar? I'm not sure if it's a syndicated show from somewhere else or if it's local.

whoops... I guess it is local. I just heard the local guy interrupt between two tunes.

clear channel (a huge evil media corporation in the east, they own everything, very cool) does that alot.

more stations should do that, but don't

I did some work for Clear Channel a few years ago... they're not just east... they're everywhere. definately huge and evil.

ive seen radio stations get nasty letters from lawyers for only playing 1 song from an unreleased cd they werent supposed to have. very against the law.

this show usually plays it about a week before release.... sometimes only a few days... so I'm thinking it must be cleared with the record company as a promotion right before release...? maybe? Who knows. Anyway, I think it's cool.... get to hear more than the record company's preselected "hit" that will be run into the ground for months....

... and very cool.

i agree, thats why i dont listen to the radio and i only buy/download cds.
