20. Why do you think radio stations sometimes go through Mix Show DJs like wild fire?
Many reasons, sometimes people don’t want to see you shine on top of them and hate, sometimes I think djs cant stick to their playlist. As much as I hate to, sometimes you have to. That’s how radio works. I think playlist is the main reason I seen it happen.
