Campus Radio is an awesome idea, I think that it is completely feasible. It will bring on more of a sense of unity throughout the campus, and if they play the right variety of music I think that it could work out really well. In order to bring in the loyal audience, I think that the first most important thing would have to be audience participation. Allowing audiences to suggest songs, to offer feedback on songs and DJs would bring in a bigger audience because they have more control over the station and the music really is "their music." Another thing that they should do is to allow small businesses to advertise for cheap, as well as the school, because college students love find things that are cheap and fun to do. Plus, the school could use to advertise up and coming events to students who may not always be on campus to see the bulletin boards that are posted. As for funding, I think that up and coming bands/artists could do shows like once a week or so, charge a dollar or two for admissions, and let the school see their talents, it's a good way to fundraise money, as well as get some of those artist the start that they need. They could do fundraising, bottle drives, just about anything that other places that try to fundraise are doing. The possibilities are endless.

Blog Forum Post Nine
I was really determined to do this post earlier then Friday, but I was distracted by youtube videos.. Oops. Anyways, I have a coworker who is fairly conservative, and isn't really about listening to music about sex, or a lot of cussing in it, and to be honest I find it hard to find music that doesn't have at least one of those two things. More specifically, I was playing a song after hours at work, a cover of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," being sang by a punk band called "Issues"( I think), anyways, it almost turns into a scream, and at the very end it has some added cussing to it, and my coworker just kind of raised his eyebrow at me like " Really Sydney? You listen to this crap?" And in response to that look, yes, yes I do listen to that, I find it like a billion times better than Justin Bieber's version. I've always enjoyed a good cover song, whether its from a band in an entirely different genre or not.
As for genre, I don't really have one, it kind of depends on my mood. When I'm feeling a little more romantic I listen to country, such as Lee Brice, or Blake Shelton, because country is really good about not being about sex. My favorite country song right now is one by Lee Brice called "I Don't Dance" Lately, when I'm driving in my car, I've been listening to some older stuff like "Pink" by Aerosmith, or my ALL-TIME favorite song ever, "Faithfully" by Journey. As for some other artists that I enjoy, because I don't really have favorites, there is Maroon 5, Train, Panic at the Disco, Sam Smith, and All American Rejects. Like I said, my music tastes depend on my mood, and I'm pretty open to listening to just about anything. With the combination of my parents, sisters, and friends, I've been exposed to a wide variety of music.
