CFSX 870 is an AM radio station. The owner of the station is NewCap Broadcasting. Chance Crosby was a man advertised on the station, which is an author of a book based on car accidents. There were some interviews featured also on CFSX. One topic was how to treat an animal. “Should we make clothes out of animal hair?” one guy objected this idea because he had a heart for animals.
After the interview there was a break and it talked about Ford’s deals, Akin Windows and doors, Seniors of Distinction, Granvay Mall, and Coleman’s.
CFSX host’s citizens who call in and bring up topics of today that they feel is important. I personally do not care for the station. The discussions are not interesting to me and they are drawn out and have no real importance. I think the reason is because the people who call in are not professionals. But the one thing that I do like is how the hosts cuts off the interviewee when they are not making since. This is an important asset because if he did not then the show would not be able to progress for other callers to stat there point.
This station will only pertain to older people rather than teenagers. It is dull and not “in.” I personally will never listen to CFSX again anytime soon but when I get older I might tune in again and give it another chance to intrigue my interest. CFSX will relate more to rural areas than urban cities.

Blog #9 CNN 1190
The radio station that I decided to listen to was CNN 1190.The calls letters for the station is KFXR. It is an AM broadcasted station. It is sent out from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. There are two ways to listen to CNN 1190 and those are: by radio or online. The radio stations website is http://www.cnn1190.com/main.html . I clicked on listen live on the webpage and the genre of music that is played is Classic Country. In-between songs commercials are advertised. Some companies that were advertised are Office Max, and Money-Sets.com. Many commercials were played in fact only two songs played then more than four commercials played in the gap.
The intended audience is older people. The reason I came to this conclusion is because younger people do not enjoy exponential commercials. But I do think that both young and old will enjoy the music played on the station. The urban community will find the information talked about important to know about. The reason being is that urban communities are immediately impacted by the governmental happenings.
CNN 1190 is different from other stations that I personally listen to while happen to only be FM broadcasted stations. I came to realize that AM stations are more talking based than FM stations. And I will not listen to AM broadcast on my time, only for a school project.

Slacker.com Blog #8
On this blog I will be explaining the pros of listening to www.Slacker.com. It is an online station that is customizable. I was introduced to the website by one of my friends and I decided to listen to it on their computer. We jammed to the station in his apartment. I will suggest this website to my friends from here on out. The website will attract a wide variety of people of all ages. The reason is because there are numerous amounts of choices of music to listen to. The thing that makes slacker radio different from another internet based music station is that slacker did not make the listener subscribe to the website. In contrast to that example Pandora pressures a new user to subscibe and make an account which is annoying in my opinion.
The website allows any user to pick a category of music. The categories are by genre of music such as: Hip Hop, New Country, 80’s 90’s and today, Comedy, Alternative, Classic, Rock, R&B Hits, Soft Hits, Smooth Jazz, and Soft Rock. Any internet user has twenty-four-seven access to www.slackercom. The owner of the website is Broadband Instruments.
While the music was playing there were some commercials in-between songs. Some of the commercials talked about Geico, the car insurance company, another commercial explained the highlights about a website named Twitter. There was also a movie advertisement that talked about “She’s Out of My League.”

The crew is made up by Skip Cheatham, DeDe McGuire, Sam Putney, Chris Arnold, and Lady Jade. They DJ during starting in the morning and finish in the late afternoon. I enjoyed listening to the station because the Disk Jockeys were nice to all of the people who called in. This asset sets them apart from the previous radio stations that I have listed to. I plan on tuning in daily to listen live from the internet.
During some of there infomercials they sell tickets to concerts, sports events, and also have answer peoples calls to grant money prizes.
