So who wants to take my radio audience survey?
I have to write a paper stemming from a radio sudience survey, I already have about ten surveys filled out already but I'd like a few more to see if I can find any more trends. Please fill it out and help me out

1. List any radio stations you listen to. 100.7, 102.7, 101.9, 97.1, 107.3, 106.5.
2. List any DJs on those aforementioned radio stations. God - like I know. I know JoJo from 106.5 (b/c of EC Idol stuff).
3. Has listening to the radio ever been a part of your daily routine (ie. listening to it while driving to school or work, listening to it while getting ready in the morning, etc)? Is it still a part of your daily routine? If not, how long ago was it and why did this change? I listen to the radio as often as possible - whenever I drive, in the shower, when I'm sitting in my room, before I go to sleep, when I wake up in the morning, etc. It is easier for me to listen to the radio more consistently while I am at home, as opposed to school, b/c I have less privacy at school, but I usually listen whenever possible.
4. Have you ever felt some sort of connection with other listeners while listening to the radio? Has a particular song make you think that other people feel the same way about that song? Has a particular news story made you feel connected with other listeners? Be specific as possible. I don't usually think about other listeners while I listen to the radio, but I do think about how songs remind me of people or how other people may respond to a certain song. I don't usually listen to anything but music on the radio, so I don't hear too many news stories over the waves.
5. Do you listen to the radio at all? If so, when? See above; in the car, in the shower, whenever I'm in my room, before I go to sleep, when I wake up.
6. Do you own an mp3 player or satellite radio? I own an iPod.
7. Where to you find out about news? Newspapers, magazines, online newspapers.
8. List 8 of your favorite bands. Which of these bands did you find out about through the radio?
The Who
The Beatles
Elton John
Queen
Paul Simon/Simon & Garfunkel
Barry Manilow (I can't help but love him)
Amos Lee
Frank Sinatra
I can't say I discovered any of them on the radio - most I grew up with or found online.
9. Is there any band or musician you would like to hear on radio that cannot be currently found on radio? I would like to hear more Amos Lee on the airwaves; I think he's wholly underrated. Jamie Cullum, The Format, The Gabe Dixon Band - there are way too many artists/bands who have record deals and have hug fan bases that never get any radio play -- completely unfair, really.
10. Where do you find out about new music? Usually iTunes (iMixes help), and a lot of time surfing MySpace.
11. How do you feel about radio now? I know it sounds cliche, but most current-music stations seem to play the same stuff, over and over and over. I do enjoy a vast range of stations, but I spend most of my time skimming them, trying to find a great song I haven't heard in a while.
12. Where do you think radio is headed? Probably in the same direction newspapers are - downhill. With the boom of mp3 players and 99-cent music, it's easier for people to just download their favorite songs and listen to random playlists on their iPod. It's just as easy to listen to their portable mp3 player as it is to listen to their radio that only reaches short distances.
My favorite radio-related song: Queen's "Radio Ga-Ga." Oh Freddie Mercury.
(Hope I helped!)
