Sunday November 11th, while traveling back to Fayetteville from Norman I was engaged in a few different stations on the radio. One in particular caught my attention, every six or seven minutes it seemed a radio announcer would come on and talk about Celebrity gossip. It was never the full story of course, just a tid bit to make everyone stay tuned to find out the rest on his next comercial. This tactic was genius to me. I sat there in awe, fully aware of what this man was doing, but completely incapable of changing the channel. It made me wonder how many people were just like me listning. People who know he is only doing it to get them to listen to the top 40 songs again and again just to hear about what  celerity messed up this time. Kid Critic and his fellow announcers have figured out the system. If they make listeners believe they will miss something huge by changing the channel they will have as many teenagers and young twenties listeners tuned in as possible at all times. It was genius!
