This week's menu: Beta Week 2

**alexjlopez** · 07-17-2011, 08:10 AM

Different programming approach this week, let us know what you think. New rotation starts around midnight tonight and runs through the week. The rotation includes over 21 hours of programming, so you can expect each episode to air roughly 8 times throughout the week at varying times.

The shows pick up where they left off last week, in sequence.

Just caught the Amiga Forever Commerical......."all your Commie needs" was that actually in the copy?

**Shane R. Monroe** · 07-18-2011, 06:52 PM

I wrote the copy ... yep. It was in there. Funny, you mention THAT but not the Brittney Spear smear?

**TripHamer** · 07-18-2011, 07:00 PM

Heard it twice, didn't catch the BS one....and you'd probably have to point it out to me as I don't follow her at all.

Otherwise I thought the Colanto spot was nicely written and sounded professional. Commie obviously sounds a little nicer/quicker than Commodore so I get it, it just has a secondary meaning. Probably wont' be given a second thought by others though.

**Shane R. Monroe** · 07-18-2011, 07:49 PM

I probably wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been a "beta" ad. Thanks!

And I heard the Colanto spot for a third time...listening for the Britney Spears comment. The first half sounded fine but the "and you'll probably have more fun with it" part sounded like you went off copy, in my opinion.

**Shane R. Monroe** · 07-18-2011, 10:54 PM

Believe it or not, I was actually on copy.

Gathering that if you do 21 hours of programming a week, repeated throughout, that if I were to only be able to listen in for the same 4 hour block per day that I wouldn't hear the exact same stuff every day? If it's random....maybe...maybe not. But if it's broken up into smaller blocks (which is harder to do due to the length of some of the shows), say 7 blocks and rotate those blocks each day, I would be able to hear 21 hours of content by only tuning in the same time each day.

I think Trip's on track here.
This new layout doesn't seem to randomize the content enough in the same "window of listening time". I like that there is more content per day but it seems like I'm getting the same content each morning. Any way to bump the content starting points (or bump them more than they are now)? Like shuffle the first 3 shows on Monday to the end of the lineup on Tuesday. So that each morning there is new content from the list of 15 shows. I know the shows are different lengths so it wouldn't work perfectly but it would be nice if it were mixed up a bit more than it is I think.
Anyway, just a suggestion.
Loving it in any case.
