  i dont remember many sound effects, but the testosterone imbued speaker is definitely in one of the big privately-owned rock radios in germany.

  one thing that always annoyed me tho is when stations play snippets of really good music in their announcements or adverts, and then resume to playing the boring songs they played the last 3 hours.

    Don’t worry, that’s entirely on purpose to keep you listening.

  I’ve never listened to much radio but I have a distinct memory of drinking in a bar in Dominican Republic and hearing air horn sfx throughout the night

  I haven’t listened to radio in >10 years, but back in the day they had a bunch of pre-recorded station ID messages like this in Germany, France and some African countries.

    Yeah I think every radio station uses these pre-recorded snippets, but they are usually rather mild and they serve to remind you that “yup, you’re still listening to our radio btw, ok bye”

  You’ll get the odd station elsewhere that peppers in a sound effect or two, but this kind of faceroll on the soundboard is a uniquely American radio station thing in my experience

  Yes. This happens in several other countries

  It has been a long time since I listened to popular radio. I don’t remember it being this annoying, but I think there were also sound effects (German radio).
