The Great Playlist Debate: Can Passive be Passionate?
Thursday, February 25, 2010
10:00 AM - 10:50 AM

In the late 90s radio slowed down the music and started cutting playlists. Now the #1 listener complaint is radio’s repetiveness and limited song repertoire. Is it time to re-evaluate? This panel will openly and lively discuss questions like: Are records lasting too long? Are playlists too short? Is this due to conglomerate ownership or record labels? How can we start breaking new artists? You won’t be bored and you will be energized.
