A letter To Kumasi Radio Presenters - Respect Your Listeners

 A letter To Kumasi Radio Presenters - Respect Your Listeners

The cry of the people is the cry of  my hot pen. When will most Kumasi Radio presenters respect their audience ? Never take them for a ride.

I have come to realize it's better our presenters speak to the people in their audience in ways that move them , Speak to their listeners in their language and to their needs. Always offer them their respect and their heart. Does this seem obvious?

The presenters often forget that their audience is the other player in their two-player cooperative game.  They mistakenly contrive our message in their terms.
Majority say what they want to say and what they think their audience needs to hear.  The radio presenters speak in language that gives them comfort.
Then later blame the audience if they don’t “get it.”

Most times, Kumasi radio presenters want their listeners to contribute to their live shows by sharing their views, but sometimes one wonders if it is worth it to send a comment to the show.

Usually, comments from listeners are taken through  social media or through text messages, but most Kumasi presenters do not treat these comments with the respect it deserves.
 
While some keep interrupting their listeners unnecessarily on phone, others too would not even read the comments taken through social media; they just thank their listeners for sending the messages. Most of them don’t even apologize for not reading the comments but they encourage their listeners  to send more comments.

   In My candid opinion, time is due for most Kumasi presenters to accord total respect to their listeners. if not, they are bound to lose their cherished audience.
