Glee

Dear God, what is happening to our beloved radio?
Whilst Glee radio in Oxford has succeeded in gaining much free publicity by launching this trend, what does it say about the state of radio in this country? Does this mark a dumbing down of the airwaves? Is it simply succeeding on the back of someone elses success? I have nothing against the entire American Glee culture, I don't pretend to understand it or see its lovely fluffy appeal but each to their own. It used to be that if you went into some shops, you would be subjected to dodgy reworks of classic songs sung by generic rock/pop singers. Everyone used to cringe and take the p*** yet here we are with exactly the same on tap every day on the airwaves. That's not progress is it? It is true that by reworking tracks such as Journeys "Don't stop believing"it has introduced a new audience to some classic tracks and relaunched sales of forgotten bands. But how bloody sad that we have to devote an entire station to it! It will be interesting to see how this little stunt works with the RAJAR results, and I don't mean the first set of results either, it's the second set of results which will give an indication of peoples real opinion of the station. Once the novelty and restricted play list have worn off what then?
In the mean time, can someone find the balls and the funding to try something truly ground breaking in radio that isn't a cheap stunt. I'm surprised that the board of Jack have stooped to this, or is it a case of having a spare station and needing to play something, anything, just to keep it running?
Your opinions?
