Why do some radio stations speed up songs and play them at a higher pitch?

Posted by admin on October 27th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 4 Comments »

So I’ve noticed that some radio stations tend to speed up their songs and make them higher pitched. like some radio stations speed them up by 3, 4, 5%. some even speed it up by 6 or 7%. i mean, i don’t have a problem with it but i was just wondering why.

do any of your local radio stations do that?

that’s dumb. and probay just to fit in more songs in a time slot, or so people find the tune more catchy

Why do mexican radio stations come in so clear, and the other stations come in fuzzy?

Posted by admin on October 20th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 4 Comments »

Nothing against any style of music, but where I live few people listen to mexican music radio stations, but they come in really clear, where as all the other music channels, that most people listen too, are in and out of reception constantly. Can radio stations only boost the range on mexican music?

Yeah! Why is that??? Good Question!

I want to improve my english (the London accent), so I want to listen radio stations where I can hear programmes about, politics, economy, society, lifestyle, etc. (especially in the morning).
I hear every day BBC London (good breakfast programmes) but I suppose there are other radio stations like this one.
Thank you !

BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5, LBC 97.3 FM

Can I listen to foreign radio stations at work via internet?

Posted by admin on September 9th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 1 Comment »

My boss does not want to pay for PRS or PPL radio licenses, so I guess no more radio at work. But is there a loophole? If I listen to foreign stations on the internet, do we still have to have a license?

I am in the UK.

No you can’t.

Why is there never any major techno radio stations?

Posted by admin on September 6th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 2 Comments »

I always wondered why there is never any major radio stations for techno/dance music. It seems like a catagory in itself to me. I am planning on studying broadcasting in college and want to become a radio station dj. I just always wondered if people would listen to a techno radio station or why there isn’t any. I mean they have country, pop, hip hop, and classical stations. I just wondered because my dream is to have a techno station:)

I agree with the first answer but think most Americans don’t like techo but people like it in Europe
I think there are techno stations on satellite radio but I don’t remember hearing techno anyplace other than dances.
I would not listen to a techno station but if one goes novelty/dementia I am there.
Doing a web search it looks like there might be Techno stations

What are some Japanese online radio stations to listen to to learn?

Posted by admin on September 2nd, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 2 Comments »

What are some Japanese radio stations that are online that I can listen to? I understand you should listen to the language you’re wanting to learn often… but any I come across are in Japanese text so I can’t figure out how to get them to play.

Here’s a suggestion: Download iTunes, install it, go to the podcasts tab, change your "region" to Japan, and then browse Japanese podcasts, and download them to iTunes. I think doing that is easier than trying to find radio stations online.

A website where you can find more info on what to listen, among a lot of very awesome information on how to learn Japanese, is:

I hope you find this info helpful lv! :D

How do I set radio stations on to the channels in a Vauxhall corsa?

Posted by admin on August 30th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 3 Comments »

I’ve just bought a Vauxhall Corsa and I’m struggling with the radio as I cant seem to set the channels 1-6 to different radio stations so it is easier to change from one radio station to another. Can anyone please help :)

With the majority of modern car radios, you tune to a station you want, then press *and hold* the button you want to save it on.

It will momentarily change to whatever station is already on that button, but after holding it in for a few seconds it will change back to the one you want. It’s then been saved.

What HD radio stations are only available through an HD tuner?

Posted by admin on August 27th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 2 Comments »

Are there any radio stations that can only be heard through an HD radio tuner? Or is HD radio just all the same channels but in higher sound quality?
I live in Detroit, but what about other cities, like LA, NY?

Just about all of us are running subchannels. In Detroit, you have quite a variety of stations only available with an HD radio. Get the whole list at www.hdradio.com For my $$, Smooth Jazz V98.7 HD-2 is a really good listen. And Detroit’s first Hispanic channel is on WYCD-HD3.

Do the radio stations produce the commercials? Or does a separate studio do that?

Posted by admin on February 15th, 2011 and filed under radio stations | 3 Comments »

I was wondering if the radio stations have voice talents that create the commercials for people who want to advertise. Or does another studio do the recording and then give it to the radio station to play?

I wasn’t sure if the radio station was a one stop shop or if I need to find someone to produce the recording separate from buying air/advertising time from the radio station.

Thanks for your help!

limited only. a few local advertisers might use such services. many will use a separate advertising agency which arranges that, either locally or nationally.
