Good for listening but.......... Review on Radio City 91 FM

Good for listening but..........at the end of the day being a medium for the universal language - music makes you wonder a little bit - How much is Radio City or any other radio station doing for the music in their own city? Radio City has come up with a good program called 'Radio City Live' which features local bands and comes on Sundays which is no doubt different but then when you hear studio produced songs through the day, how good is the local talent in your city? Firstly, the quality is worse than a band room sound - secondly, not every band is funny or has a sense of humor - trying to bring that out only makes the band seem very stupid / immature and thirdly, how is much is it doing for that particular band? What does the band have to offer? an album? most of the guys that I have heard on the radio dont even have demo for godsake! Does that do them any good on Radio?

The music scenario today exists of your normal pop shows, international acts, classical concerts and lastly your rock shows. The funny thing is that all these scenarios change except for the last one where you have the same old bands like Parikrama heading and when you do a event to promote local talent - Why do you promote the same old band thats playing in your city every other week and isnt even from Bangalore?

I'm really sorry to say this but I have lost total regard for Radio City and also question their motives at the end of the day! They gain from the point of having a new program thats way different from the rest but what does the bands get? Money? increased shows throughout the city / country? a recording deal? a huge fan base? Atleast the band can record their session on air and use it as demo but I doubt it will go anywhere with the quality. I also think thats its a last ditch effort to corner the market since there are going to be 6 new stations doing the same thing - even better.

So heres to Radio in general - thanks but no thanks.
