Where else is this happening? I could see them maybe stretching a bit to play "Paparazzi" but "Just Dance" is certainly not an Adult Contemporary or "Soft Rock" song! Call me crazy.

Brown, who became infamous for smacking around his girlfriend, Rihanna, after a pre-Grammy Awards ceremony, is asking fans to help him get his music back on the radio. (Photo: Gemma Mary, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license) In a recorded statement through the website, SayNow.com, Brown says: “A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. My music won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio.” Hear it: You can <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/031010_chris_brown_audio.mp3" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/031010_chris_brown_audio.mp3');" target="_blank">listen Brown’s plea here</a>.

While he played 15 years with the then-Los Angeles Rams, and went on to costar in the TV series "Little House On The Prairie" and "Father Murphy", Olsen was best known as a TV football analyst. He spent a decade as NBC's lead NFL analyst, working for most of that time alongside D**k Enberg. If my memory serves me correct, Olsen worked five Super Bowls for NBC, the first with Curt Gowdy and the other four with Enberg.

I mean, I know the station is aiming squarely at females but to pretend no males registered for the contest is crazy. I ask because...well, because I'm a male who registered and I listen almost every day and I don' think I ever heard them call a man's name. And also because today, I couldn't tell whether the 1:00 name was "Tiff" or "Tim." I actually set up a calendar reminder to listen at 1:00 every weekday but the odds are stacked quite high against me so I think I'm gonna give up on t his particular $500 jackpot! haha.
