They have goddamn-noisy-boxes at my school, turned too blamed loud. Complaining to the administration doesn't work. Let's see if this does....
At CTN, we care! We really do. So much so, that we want to make sure that we get the music YOU like on the air. If you like a song and we are not playing it, we want to know about it! Take a minute to send our program director, Nick Schittone, your request for music we are not playing. It might be a new artist, a popular one or even one from the "Old School". Fill out the form below and we will get your request straight into Nick's e-mail box. Your e-mail address will only be used by Nick and not some sleezy marketing guy.

song Bang and Blame
Tell us why you like this song
Bang and Blame is just hands down an awesome song. I'd write you a paragraph or three of analysis, but I think my time would be better spent talking about how [bleeped out] annoying your station is. I understand that you're just the music programmer, so I'd like to beg in passing, Please less rap! Please! It feels like all you play is rap, hip-hop, and "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, and I'm sick of all of those songs! before asking that you perhaps pass this message on to someone who would be able to do something with this message.
My school, DeVry of Phoenix Arizona, has evidently contracted with your company for you to advertize through your noisy-boxes in the admissions office, the cafeteria, and the game room. It irritates me and quite a few other students, especially the cafeteria noisemakers.
To assure you that I am indeed part of your target demographic, I am female, Caucasian, age 21, full-time college student.
I went to my college's Student Services department to complain that your televisions were too bloody loud for the area they were in; they are kept continually at a volume that will make them audible over the loudest of the noon rush, which is an unacceptable volume for having breakfast at six in the morning with perhaps ten people in the cafeteria, including the early-bird instructors and the cafeteria staff! The Student Services guy told me that there was nothing he could do; DeVry was contracted with you guys, and no matter what volume he turned them to, he always got complaints. Evidently his latest batch of complaints had been that the things were inaudible over the sound of people having lunch at the height of the noon rush where the cafeteria takes about twice as many customers as it was designed for; he'd turned them up far too loud to overcompensate.
Evidently I am not the only student who was annoyed by the blasphemous volume that Mr. Handler chose to set your idiot boxes at; several days later I was blissfully relieved to find that someone, or several someones, had yanked the loose connection at the back of the TV out, leaving the screen playing nothing but static. There are four CTN televisions in the cafeteria and partitioned-of game room area. The one in the game room is set to an audible, yet decent level. It has not been tampered with. The one in the northeast corner of the cafeteria is kept turned relatively low. It, too, has not been tampered with.
Administration attempted to reconnect both of the offensively loud CTN televisions, and each time, they have been disconnected by irritated students who feel that Administration does not listen to simple requests to have their eardrums not assaulted. You would think that Administration would get the idea. The CTN televisions that are turned to a decent volume are not tampered with; CTN televisions that are turned to a volume that borders on assault are tampered with. Please let Mr. David Handler of DeVry Phoenix know this.
Hmm, think they'll get the idea?
