Walk, with personality. Talk, with personality. Smile, with personality... Give feedback please! I'm not focusing in on any one station or on-air talent. Although I must say in recent weeks I've heard more DJ's pimp out their name and the time than I've heard the station's letters.  I'm actually interested in what you people would like from a Personality. What do you find the most important quality? How about the least important? Anything I left out that you think is more important? Anyone specific you're annoyed with? What would you do in their place? |

I personally enjoy listening to a live personality, but they need to show that with some inflection I believe too. I've not always known KJQ was live because of how their personalities sound sometimes. . . One of my favorite personalities actually isn't live (weekdays), Jon Smith, but he makes up for it with his enthusiasm and creativeness with what he does on air. As for time and temperature, frankly I don't mind that either. Maybe it comes from my small town roots, where not much else is important. Besides, a current temperature means someone's actually there.  That's one reason I like Power 107.9's weather bed. |

They've got to be themselves. To many people try to be something they're not. Be yourself and talk to the people. The Best advise I have ever had. Well that and turn it around so it feels like someone else ;D

Just a minor note- to play requests (one vote) wouldn't you also need to be live? (more or less anyway)  Thanks. |

I'm sorry folks, but it is disappointing to me how bad many of these personalitys here are. It is sad, because there is nothing original, and many of these folks sound as if they are trying so hard to be and sound cool. You either are, or you are not. Personality, comes through when you know your music and your listeners, which many don't. I love how DJ's at U92 don't even pronounce the artists names correctly, or how 94.9 Dj's change their lingo if it is a rap or hip hop song. That is just garbage. Get a clue, and learn your music and learn your listeners. Then I'm sure true personality comes through. Last, voice flexion or stupid man show type antics, do not constitute personality.

Excuse me, it was only a poll to see what people thought. It seems to me that you took this a little too personal. I'm sorry if I hit a nerve and had to catalog traits, but it was the only way I could get it to work. By chance, you wouldn't be a personality who happens to suck... would you?

I'm sorry you feel that way, but that is the norm here when you are not a part of the general population or culture, and made to feel as if your thoughts or opions are negative. That is sad that you can not see or chose not to see past this valley. Once again, I guess the strength in numbers, or should I say the strength in ignorance prevails.

Personality? I've followed Helmut for a really long time being a KBER fan and think his weekend show is done really well but as for most shows that are VT'ed they all suck period. KUDD's night guy is doing really good I find him entertaining

What do you do on your show Embreeze? Or aren't you a personality, either? I'm sorry folks, but it is disappointing to me how bad many of these personalitys here are. It is sad, because there is nothing original, and many of these folks sound as if they are trying so hard to be and sound cool. You either are, or you are not.
