I play bumper music between singers. It helps keep the rhythm going and people have told me they like it instead of the dead air from other shows. Sometimes I play the Mentos comercial song, sometimes Underdog or George of the Jungle will come on.
Isn't that "Filler Music" too (since you're describing something that is probably less than 1 minute in play time)? If not, could everyone please give me their definition of "Bumper Music" vs "Filler Music?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_musicI cannot believe because I called it something different that you would think there is a difference. It IS filler music. It IS preventing dead air. Turning a knob up and down as one disc ends and another starts playing does not waste any time but far be it from me to do anything right.
What Jackasse's that are on here.
Like Jam, I never worked in Radio or Broadcasting, so the term "Bumper Music" was Greek to me. I asked you a simple question, as to whether there was a difference in the 2 terms.
Nowhere in my post did I say you did anything wrong. There was no need for you to get insulting about it in your answer (by calling me a J-A).
