But on the other point there ad on daytime radio advertising strippers. I'll give them 3 months max i think maybe 3 weeks would be even a miracle. it is at least entertaining how bad they are. but also completly idiotic. i mean they are advertisting actual strippers every half an hour. the ads are crudely timed and come on exactly at top and bottom of hour. never mind if a song just started. no we must hear about stripper party.

Phever have been on for years, well until recently, but are back intermittently. And Trax over a year. But they do it for the music and sound great. FK wants a piece of that action. He has a few bob there so why not do it again. Radio to him is a cash cow. Yes pirates need to make a few quid but at least do it right and as professional as possible. Get your feet on the ground first with your setup etc... then do all that. It was on a week and he had 2 or 3 ads going already. Now there's a gig coming up soon too. As for the audio, they don't care how it sounds as long as those ridiculous ads get played. They have no technical knowledge at all. When do you ever hear Trax or Phever with audio problems? Never! And if they did they would probably go off air to sort it asap. He's just making a joke out of it altogether. While it's funny to watch and listen to, it's embarrassing. But again, I don't think they care. Hopefully they won't last another month or two, especially where they are on the band.
