Next to Hate Radio, what is your biggest radio pet peeve?
I'd have to say I really hate Morning Zoos. Supposedly wacky trios riffing on Survivor and the size of J. Lo's butt. The reason I listen to Howard, who I often find creepy, is that at least I don't have to hear with a majorly affected voice describe last night's episode of CSI before kicking it to "Mudflap" for the Rock Report.

Thank you Clear Channel. May I have another?

1. Radio itself is a pet peeve
They play the same damn music all the time.

3. Annoying morning personalities who have all the personality of mayonnaise.
who try to be funny, but end up sounding like stepford people.

And they play the same damn music all the time.

4. Amen
Wacky Morning Zoo Crews are a plague upon our nation's airwaves.

Add to that any DJ who describes a winner as a "weiner".

9. I don't like the way...
...they all go to commercial at the same time. Without fail, at approximately 10 minutes to the hour, 7 out of my 8 presets are usually airing ads.

10. "We'll continue your nonstop commercial free continous (type of Music)...
after a few words from our sponser..." (begin 15 minutes of commercials, occasionally interupted by claims of providing continous music)

11. Art Bell/Coast to Coast.
This is truly the dumbing down of America. There used to be some great radio in this time slot,but this garbage is on everywhere pushing anything good off the air. It is cheap programing. Why hire a local host when this swill will do.
Corporate media sucks again.

12. COMMERCIALS
I rarely listen to music radio because I can't stand them. I need to put a CD player in my car for music. I listen primarily to NPR & the local news channel -- but even that, WTOP, has too many commercials. They're extremely annoying.

13. While radio ads are pretty bad,
for sheer awfulness nothing beats ads for radio stations on TV. I've never once seen a radio station that had the faintest idea of how to advertise on television.

16. Trip give aways---like the current DisneyWorld one-on our local
breakfast club station, that make it sound like he can win to my 5 year old son. He's been wigging out about it since last week and I really want to throttle them for leading him on. :(

17. Any radio program that talks about a TV show,
whether it is one that I spit upon with contempt ("American Idol," "Survivor") or one that I like ("24," "Law & Order"). No matter which one you pick, half your audience or less will have seen it.
