Why doesn't Prince start a Radio station?

I was just wondering. I think it would be a good idea for Prince to have his own syndicated radio station. He can put out all his music on there or artist he admire. Like the audio shows he used to have on the NPGMC.Or have a satelite radio show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio like Howard Stern,Oprah and Jamie Foxx. Stevie Wonder has his own radio Station here in L.A KJLH. Don't U think that's a good idea?
eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

Because radio is an incredibly difficult business. And to make something like that work, he'd have to have an attention span longer than a microsecond.

Which we all know he doesn't.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

True. But, control freak that he is, it's unlikely that he'd give permission for any project over which he didn't have complete authority. And I can't imagine him taking the time to approve playlists and DJs, and spend time monitoring the station (which he'd have to do).

Just have Trevor or another minion pre program the material I meant. Then he can also throw in his own live cuts vault stuff every now and then.

I can see Prince taking the time to approve and monitor playlist. I mean that is what he is about anyway. There was word he was trying to start a video channel so why not radio. It can be based right where he live in The spacious mega "paisley Park Studios". There don't even have to be a main Dj just music. He can have live broadcast of his concerts at Paisley and play what he wants. I think its a great idea. He always talking about radio has a fixed format. Change it Prince . Put your money where your mouth is.

Satellite would be great, and put it out on DirectTV and DishNetwork. I wouldn't expect him to be on it as a DJ, but it could have a great breeding ground for new music mixed with great old stuff, and exclusive premieres, concert feeds, etc.

I remember so many fans suggesting live concert feeds from his studio or elsewhere. We have yet to see this happen. Which at this time, and no tour going on, would be a real nice treat. Nice if he could even give us a peek inside a live jam session from his studio, streamed from his current site. One can only wish. shrug

he should start a homepage... maybe something like a interactiv club or so... with exclusive news or a hole new galaxy full of never seen videos like "Kiss" or whatever. that all would be so great! and the bonus will be 5 cd's full of never released music plus a 5 DVD set with all the last tours on it..

and do not forget the "automatic sue you button" with a direct link to the court near you! yes, you can sue prince like you never did before...


sorry, i am drunk lol

I think Prince could create an awesome radio station and I think he would be a great dj too. He could have a weekly spot (if he did not want an everyday thing)
