More Comments Coming In
The KZION survey is winding down and the feedback has been awesome. Here are some comments in response to the question, “What do you like about KZION.”
“Plays a variety of music that isn’t offensive. Both me and my teenagers enjoy the music.”
“I like the fact that I don’t have to worry about the quality of music being played. AND I LOVE to know and listen to new artists!! I especially like the information given for each particular song! It helps me to know how to get more products and CD’s from that particular artist.”
“The music selection is great. I like the previews of new music.”
“I like the variety of music. I like hearing the music LDS artists are doing. I’m so tired of the local regular stations, KZION is a good change of pace.”
“I like the selection of music. Very nice.”
“I like the different varieties of music.”
“I enjoy a mix of generally uplifting positive music performed by LDS artists. The music ranges from sacred to contemporary, even rock and roll.”
There is a constant debate in my mind about the music mix. Traditionally, we are used to hearing a top 40 sound and usually all in the same genre. KZION radio flips this whole concept upside down and plays entire albums and mixes all genres of music into one big hodgepodge.
I used to ask this question in my surveys to KZION listeners, “Should KZION continue to broadcast a mix of genres or create individual stations for each genre?” overwhelmingly, listeners want the mix. I didn’t ask the question this time around but I think that the answer would remain the same. I did not find one negative comment about hearing a sacred song play next to a silly song about snowmen. It’s certainly not for everyone, and I’m sure it does turn some people off and they won’t listen to KZION for that very reason.
There were quite a few comments along this line,
“I don’t like the idea that you have to pay a membership in order to make requests.”
I don’t like it either, but how else do I keep KZION on the Internet? A lot of people, and I mean a lot of people feel that everything on the Internet is free. They don’t understand that everything on the Internet costs money. They might be able to access information, download programs or music, or listen to music for free. But, there are expenses associated with providing content on the Internet, and Internet radio has more than its fair share of expenses.
Good stuff!
