    OZFM & Captain Kidd

    Hey All,

    For some reason, OZFM here in Newfoundland isn't playing Captain Kidd. Now I listen to this station all the time and they play every other GBS song except CK. I've been requesting it but I still haven't heard it. So ya know what we gotta do? Bombard the station with requests. Even if you live out of the province.

    Here's all the contact info:

    Email: requests@ozfm.com

    PhoneFrown709)273-2000 or (709)273-2255

    Fax: (709)726-3300

    thanks all!
    Aimee!!

    PS: As I'm posting this, it just came on during the Traditional Show on the Station! LOL! First time! Yay! But they still need to play it during regular hours...so get requesting!

    OZ is ( among being a crapy station imo) a hit station mostly, tho they play older stuff. GBS's last singles were more popish. Capt Kidd isn't. I bet THTE is stuff for OZ's JIgs and Reels show. Capt Kidd isn't like what they play normally.

    I think the guys face this sort of problem across the country. I know here in Cornwall the only station that plays GBS is a top 40 station and they only have about three or four GBS songs in their play rotation Frown. I have contacted them about the new CD and Captain Kidd single but unless it goes top 40 I doubt I'll hear it here except for my own CD player Roll Eyes.

    I listen to OZ FM here via Express Vu satellite. I caution anyone who contacts radio stations on behalf of the guys, to hear their music, to be on their best behaviour(hey I'm a mom that's what I do). I can remember a problem with a radio station a few years ago, who were bombarded with GBS requests and some people were a little militant in their approach and it really turned the station manager off. That didn't do much for the guys. There, lecture over, back to the fun!

    Cheers, Mom!

    I strongly agree with Motherhen here! Please do not bombard radio stations with requests. We want to raise awareness but not upset the stations. We have to be the voice of the lads, so let's all be calm, cool and collected like they are!

    cheers,

    Helen

    I got "When I'm Up" on KISS fm in Calgary with steady calls. Finally 1 morning I was asked if I wanted to introduce the song to the airwaves, and boy did I! I did the same with "Consequence Free" on the radio in Woodstock,NB. I kept phoning and talking with the same guy and Finally come the Monday morning when he first played and dedicated the song to the girl who has been trying to get the song on!
    So, we can do it and be persistant. Talking to the same dj helps.
