I'm just in a small Canadian city of 300,000, but our local station is
confirming the Hagar rejoining VanHalen thing, anyone else heard anymore?

i was listening to my XM satelite radio and on the 80's station they
said the same thing, as if it were fact (hagar back in VH)...while going
into "jump"....

Like they'd release this information in Canada before the US.
Riiiiiiighttt...

HEY, MAN... **** YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT!!!! I USED TO WORK IN RADIO, AND

....

Heh. You're right.

And before the internet came along, radio just passed along information
they found in the newspaper.

In fact the station I used to work at, all our "news director" did was
wait until the paper was delivered at 3:30 PM and then write all of his
material from what he found in the paper. We're report all that stuff
as "news" until the next day at 3:30. I'm sure many of our listeners
caught on.

Did anyone here about the radio station in Canada claiming to have an
exclusive EVH interview a couple of days ago? They took that Two Dorks
interview or whatever those guys were called and dubbed in their own DJ
pretending to ask the questions!!!

Actually, that's not uncommon either. Usually the station buys the
interview from the station that originally did it, and then they air it
as their own, putting in their own DJs asking the questions. Sometimes
the pass it off as their own interview, and other times the turn it into
a news story with soundbites. 90% of radio is smoke-and mirrors.

In fact it's also common for interviews to have never "originally" aired
as a "real" interview -- the interview was just recorded in order to be
sold to many different stations. Our local guy had an interview with
the lawyers for the lady in Texas that drowned her 3 kids -- there's no
way he would have really landed that interview.

You can tell if an interview is "fake" by paying attention to whether or
not the interviewee talks about anything local, and whether or not the
interviewor and interviewee talk at the same time. If it's cut-and-dry
question-answer-question-answer, it's probably not a live interview.

Sometimes this as done as a comedy bit -- the DJs will be talking with
the president, or some other totally out of reach person for a local DJ
to get an interview with, and it's supposed to be funny. I did an
interview with "President Clinton" when I was on the air once... it was
a voice impersonator of course.
