? for loyal listeners...has listening to FFR broadened your mind/opened your heart to new music that you may have written off 20-30 years ago? Listening to some songs that may not be your choice- do you find them growing on you? Just curious.
I think we lost a lot of listeners when we switched from our 80's / Adult Contemporary format to the current Anything Goes style. But the listeners we DO have are hard-core music fans now!
I can't tell you how many songs I've first learned of on our station because other people have asked that they be added. Songs that I probably wouldn't have given a chance normally because I had a preconceived bias against an artist for one reason or another.
The new format has made me more of a complete music lover I'd say. I always liked A LOT of different stuff, but now there's almost nothing I won't atleast give a chance! (Except for (c)rap music, I'll never like (c)rap music)
