don't go overboard!

I know we've seen topics already about this, but apparently the message still is not getting through, so you'll have to bear with me. A friend of mine went to meet David at the San Diego radio station on Monday and she and a few other David fans had the opportunity to talk for quite awhile with the station's program director and DJ and the PD told her how annoying some of David's fans are being. He told them that they see IP addresses, area codes on caller ID, etc., and they are getting a lot of requests from outside the local market. He also said that he talks to other stations around the country almost daily and they are all saying the same thing. He strongly urged my friend and the other fans to get the word out that David's fans are basically blowing it for David. He specifically mentioned that he thinks David is a nice kid but if this continues, he (and apparently these other stations) will get to the point that they won't want to play him at all. They said they've done that to other artists and so it's not something to be taken lightly.

Now, I know we've all been warned about this before and most of us here try to be careful, but it needs to be repeated and the word needs to spread to all corners of the David fandom. So, if you are members at other boards, would you please be so kind as to spread the word as much as possible that all requests must stay local and if you are requesting, please don't harrass the stations. The last thing we need is to be responsible for hurting David's career.

Okay, so now that's out of the way, my friend also added that the PD told the group of David fans that there's a good reason why we're not hearing 'Crush' in the So. California market yet and it's because of Jive. He basically told them that David's label is very successful at what they do and they know what markets to release to at certain points in time. So, in a nutshell, we now even have station PDs telling us to "trust Jive." LOL


This is the most likely reason why it hasn't been played on KIIS and other Socal stations, so PLEASE STAY LOCAL!
