The school radio station may soon air paid advertisements from local businesses. Dan Shanklin, the student director of the radio station, has commented that money earned from advertising could help the radio station improve its programming. Shanklin expects that advertising revenue would be used to purchase both higher-end recording equipment and the broadcast rights for popular songs and syndicated radio programs that may be of interest to students. With enough advertising money, Shanklin feels it may even be possible to invite famous singers to campus for performances in the radio station studio. The radio station’s board of directors, which includes both students and faculty, will make a decision on this possible programming change early next week.
Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Female student: I really don’t think this is a good idea.
Male student: [CONFUSED] Uh… really? But… it sounds like ads could help the radio station make money.
Female student: Yeah, I guess. But the radio station already plays a lot of announcements.
Male student: Announcements?
Female student: Yes. Between shows, they announce campus events, changes in school policy, that kinda thing. If they add commercials too, there’ll be a lot less time for the entertainment content.
Male student: And they can’t really stop running those announcements. There’s a lot of important info there.
Female student: Yeah! And besides, does the college radio station really need to bring in more money? I mean, they just got new sound gear last year, and the music department already pays to bring famous singers to campus—who cares if they’re aired on campus radio if we get the chance to see ‘em live?
Male student: I see what you mean. I’ve never had any problems with the programming, myself.
Female student: Exactly. I think advertisers will just take up extra time. They won’t really improve the station. Y’know, I think they’ll just make things worse! I don’t know if I’ll keep listening if they really do start running ads.
Male student: [THINKING/THOUGHTFUL] Hmm… Maybe you’re right
