We queried our database and discovered something we feared to be true anyway: The MAJORITY of you have been voting "NO" for a Cassette each month. Two-thirds of you have NEVER sent a tape in. A much larger number of you have been voting "NO" for the past six months or so. We get so much positive feedback about The Cassette that it is difficult to believe the majority of you don't want it, but we have to consider the figures. Are we paying a pretty penny to provide something the majority of you don't want? (Remember that we don't charge you for The Cassette; it is free with your subscription. The subscription fee was $75 BEFORE The Cassette existed, and it still is. We swallow the expense of The Cassette, and you simply give us something to put on it.) We'd like to ask our regular supporters how they feel about supplying the spots and promos while the majority of you enjoy The Cassette without supporting it. Is this fair? Do you mind not hearing from the many people we list as "New Subscribers" each month? We'd really like some feedback before we consider any changes. We'd also like to hear from you non-supporters. Why don't you support The Cassette, even with just one spot every three months or so? It doesn't take a tape from everyone every month to fill a blank cassette. If half of you sent a tape once every three months, we'd have plenty to work with. Does anybody have a suggestion? How about some input? Tell us where we stand with The Cassette. Enough said? Good. Now, on with the show...
The promo side kicks off with some hot stuff from Brian James, this month's interviewee and Creative Services Director at the Power Pig. Cut 4, from Ron Shapiro, features original music done by KIIS-FM Continuity Director, Chris Peaslee. (Chris freelances his music. Call him at 213-466-xxxx.) On the "B" side, look for the two spots mentioned by Dennis Daniel in this month's Tales of the Tape column. We wrap up side "B" (almost expectedly these days) with comic relief from Joel Moss. (Does Joel do any boring production?) Cut 14 from Mr. Moss is an excerpt from WEBN's annual Fools Day Parade. The bit uses Bart Simpson quotes sent out on reel to stations across the country by Fox TV.
