who listen to and to those of us who dont have much Choice in the i consider myself pretty Liberal As far listening to music i can tolerate j about but somehow i feel the person in charge of broadcasting has to be a country music with the realization that not everyone can be i think there should be some consideration to just what Type of listeners an is broadcasting the majority of military personnel and their families have their lunch hour from 12 to 1 and their after dinner hour from 7 to 8 and what do we have to listen to during those prime but the country beat of broken cheating wives and other miscellaneous before i arrived in country music was a Nice and i must i have a few country what about the younger or gis in the Barracks who enjoy Rock Well they do get an hour but that at 11 to and who wants to stay up that late when the majority of them have to be up so Early anyway and what about the people of Spanish descent How does country music rate to get All the prime times every weekday and eve plus All Day saturday for the count Down if we dislike whats played on we switch to pm Only to hear a variety of grocery store music and an occasional Lionel Ritchie or Diana Ross an does not have to worry about what number their station is in the so How about some extra time spent in program planning to please its listeners its very humorous to hear an announcer youre listening to your favorite radio i mean lets be serious do we really have a Choice Mcfee Germany editors note an an spokes Man replies so whats wrong with country music both top 40 and country music Are very popular with our radio during the majority of each broadcast Day from 5 to 12 and from 1 to 6 network and affiliate do radio programs play contemporary hit songs from dance and and top 40 the Anam play list is decidedly Rock and top 40 although we in clude soul and dance Chart hits As part of fans am contemporary hit radio two hours each weekday dedicated solely to country music during convenient listening times is not too much for our country music in addition to sports and inform an plays approximately 17 hours of mostly top 40 and Rock Chart music daily compared to two hours of dedicated country programs for our country music during the Early evening hours and throughout the an plays a wide variety of programs tailored for specific improvement of to reception i sure wish of nov would get its act for the third consecutive Day it is experiencing another unscheduled to out you would think that whatever prob lems they had on thursday and Friday would have been corrected by Here we go off the air once More just hours before the scheduled Mcaa basketball maybe its just but i do believe of nov is off the air far More than most to stations in the once they go off the air they never announce the reason and it seems to take some time to rectify the i wonder what is being done to solve this very frustrating Kearney Wiesbaden editors note Mitchell Public
