Blog Post 8 - Radio UTD Possible Problems

When analyzing the Radio UTD music culture, I ran into some minor issues but most were easily corrected. Some people first of all might find it a little difficult to schedule an interview with the person they are most interested in at the station due to schedule conflicts because their DJ’s are assigned a certain time slot. But since I had already contacted and researched everything before trying to schedule an interview, I didn’t have much difficulty with this aspect. It was very easy to get inside the studio, I walked up, saw my friend through the Radio UTD glass window, and he met me at the front desk and I just had to sign in for a visitor badge. Some other difficulties that spurred up during my research was finding which promotional studios are responsible for sending CD’s to Radio UTD and are they in competition with one another. Since Sean Jordan didn’t know every aspect of the industry, it was a little difficult to find this information out. Although Sean did a very good job at answering the questions that I needed answered.
For the most part, the Radio UTD music culture, because it was student run, was very easy to contact and from what I understand, they don’t have any conflicts with timing and event management. I did ask if someone was sick, do they play off-air music and he said that they would just call around and find another DJ to substitute for the absente. In all, most of the problems that arise can be easily communicated through those at Radio UTD, and they are very timely at responding to your issues.
