Clear Channel now color-coding music
The exciting new WFMU blog informs us that Clear Channel has started color-coding music, a la the Department of Homeland Security:
"Blue" songs are "no problem if aired from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.," while "Yellow" songs "should be reviewed for indecency issues if a PD or air personality wants to air it between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m." "Orange" songs "cannot be played from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m." If "Yellow"' or "Orange" songs are aired, the station's GM and PD will get an e-mail informing them of a possible problem if played outside of safe-harbor hours, but the decision to the air song will remain with the local programming staff.

yeah.. big surprise there.
a couple of years ago, harper's had an article on clear channel which made my blood boil. since then i have pretty much eliminated all commercial radio from my life. i mean who wants to listen to those commercials?
here in southern california, we are lucky to have a decent (if somewhat elitist) public radio station for music and news.. http://www.kcrw.com and with internet radio like SOMAFM.com ..who needs clear channel?

This certainly needs some kind of color warning...
