1: Pardon my ignorance, but precisely what is a "wanker"?

2:  I am dying to find out just what is going on in the current revolution
of glop.  It seems that MTV has basically been absorbed into broadcast
radio.  No one responded previously (does my news ever make it past duke!);
but as a former radio station program director, I am curious as to just why
people like the same 20 records everywhere they go?

     Will someone PLEASE offer a well formulated answer to this question:

       WHY DOES AIR SUPPLY AND GENESIS CO-EXIST ON THE SAME RADIO STATION?

     And this:

       WHY DO PEOPLE TOLERATE (indeed, LIKE) THE SAME 20 RECORDS ROTATED
       FIVE TIMES A DAY ?

     When I was six years old, I was sitting in my parents' 1960 Impala
and was completely amazed when I found TWO RADIO STATIONS PLAYING THE SAME
SONG AT THE SAME TIME.

	I have ten buttons in the car today, and I heard "PYT" on four of
them just this week, and John Melancamp [sp!] on FIVE!!!!!!!...at the SAME
TIME. (but not M.J. on 4 and J.M. on the other five...two separate incidents).
WHO IS THAT WOMAN WHO SINGS "....when the WAAAAWWWS" on that record ?

	Finally, does anyone think that a low-burnout format (i.e. playing
a record no more than twice a day) which is reasonably consistent and highly
favourable to new artists ( not in the MTV way ) one that could make money?
I've the opportunity to buy an FM station soon and was just wondering what
should be done to it ( right now, they play Jimi Hendrix adjacent to Anne
Murray...it's Drake-Chenault Contempo 200, automated.)

	Please reply by MAIL...
