All Request
An all request television or radio show is a show that plays only listener or viewer requests.
The introduction to The Carpenters' version of Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft features a fictional dialogue between the disc jockey of an all request program on "All Hit Radio" and a listener that the DJ thinks is "Mike Ledgerwood", but is in fact an alien race. The DJ comments that the request "We are observing your Earth" is "not on our play list". This refers to an actual practice of all request programs of having a pre-set play list, and excluding any requests for items that are not on it.
Examples
Some widely known all request shows include:
- All Request — an hour-long block of programming in which the staff at VH1 Classic play video requests that they receive via electronic mail
gollark: My laptop, which I think has a mike, runs Linux, and my phone runs Lineage without Google services.
gollark: I generally have about two devices with microphones around, but I control the software on them more than usual, so that's okay.
gollark: No. I mean Motorola's RAZR thing but it's a normally sized one which folds out to twice as tall.
gollark: You could put twice the instasnappifacetweets on screen at once.
gollark: Design idea: a phone twice as tall as the already very large existing ones which works as a flip phone.
