I'm assuming that alot of you tune into various DJ's and you enjoy their shows for a reason. So I thought i'd run some ideas by you guys and see if you would tune into this shows and basically just find out what you enjoy listening to most or what you would like us to do that would make you tune in more often?

I have various ideas like doing a Boyband show or a Girlband show or even a show that is like Boybands Vs Girlbands [I've not heard these shows so thought why not?]

Or, if I can convince management to let me do something like a Then and Now show? I like watching these on the music channels and I think it would be interesting to do something like that. But instead of just going ahead and doing these shows, I want your input. I get a fairly reasonable response to my 90's and 00's show, of which i'm finding out what songs you like listening to in those eras.

So... your input please?

All your ideas are good but they have been done before, but they would quite suit one off/once a month shows.

I think some DJ's really need to start thinking about show variety in general, I stopped listening a while back (minus my small senior dj stint) purely due to the lack of good quality and variety in shows. I like my pop and top 40 music, but listening to HxL is pretty much like listening to a worse quality version of Capital FM. Same top 40 songs played over and over and no real variety (minus a few DJ's of course)

Maybe taking your Boyband vs Girlband idea and expanding, like music channels and have a listener based event (kinda) where they vote for their favourite g-band/b-band song from a list. Be nice to have a mixed variety of different genres, dated and new etc.

When I go on air I do try and play music from the 90's from today. Yeah it does get boring to listen to the same songs over and over in every show.

[Danny]

It's why I do 90's to 00's and I usually search for songs that I've not heard other DJ's play in that era but ofcourse sometimes i'm gunna end up playing songs that somebody else who plays 90's or 00's music...

Tara/nonononodpwmh does an entire show about old music (maybe shes resigned i dont keep up) which includes a lot of 90s stuff too :P

do classic rock and i'll support you by tuning in
or just 70's/80's

new music is boring

Classic rock is not my thing so I wouldn't know where to start, but I could do an 80's show perhaps.

To be completely honest, DJ's need to have a variety. Everyone has different taste in music. One song could be 5SOS - She Looks So Perfect, the next could be Queen - We Will Rock You.

To add, if the DJ's would play the different varieties then, they would have more listeners.

Whole shows on particular genres or eras or themes (rock, 80s, Disney, etc) are good until the novelty wears off. So long as they are kept to weekly or fortnightly ad a chance is taken to organise the show well then they can work. Themes come off well in all respects as they also allow a chance for themed completions that are easy to follow like dress up or even further afield writing or drawing. I would tune in to support any themed show because the dj has actually bothered to think about their show and isn't just playing requests or The Wave followed by Ariana grande. I don't tune in to bear things in my own library or on ever other radio going, I tune in for charismatic djs.

Which is why I was planning to push perm shows a lot and really make them the next focal point of HxL. HxL will never get anywhere and continue to be stuck on the same amount of listeners it has now, because of the fact that everything is so generic, it gets boring.

I would suggest filling up prime-time slots with at least one perm show and make them different. One element that made HxL so successful in the past was variety and lack of same old, same old. This has been lost and we never really got into it sadly.

The downside to that, is that you would get DJs starting a show and they would never have any guidance, so it would be either really **** or the DJ quits anyway after a couple of weeks, which is another issue. I'd try find good longer serving DJs to really fill these slots. You want people to look forward to a show, and this is one of the ways you can do so :).
