Hoping to squash the homogenization of radio caused by focus group induced, unoriginal, repetitive playlists, FM411 has introduced a service allowing people to submit requests which are then electronically relayed to area radio stations who can then, with permission, notify listeners when their request will air.
Rolling out nationally in the coming months, the service debuted in Boston today with street “protesters” trying to “Make Radio Waves” and “Take Back Radio.” FM411’s hope is to build enough clout that radio stations will actually heed listeners wishes.
