1. djs who don't identify themselves or their show until a song or more into their show.
2. djs who play a set of music, then the announcements, then back announce the set. this is especially annoying if they say, "before the break, we heard...." equally annoying is when they've played a set, then the announcements, and then say, "and we just heard such and such song." well, no, what we just heard was an announcement.
3. djs who don't announce in reverse chronological order. this is especially annoying when a dj has played a 20 minute set of 2 minute songs and then starts off with the song he played 20 minutes ago. no, i want to know what the song you just played was called. that's the song i remember, and that's the song that, logically, most listeners are most likely to have heard.
4. djs who say before the announcement, "after this, we'll hear blah, blah, blah," but don't come back after the announcement to remind me (or new listeners) what song they're playing.
5. dj's who say, "goodbye, thanks for listening, here's another song" and then don't come back and tell me (or new listeners) what song they just played. (a certain dj has played the same last song more than 15 years but still gets calls asking what it is. solution: identify it after playing it.)

I disagree with three, because I might want to know the 2nd song in the
set. Or the dj could say, "you just heard xxxxx, and the set consisted of
www, yyy, zzz, and xxxxx.
Good topic.

shallow corporate dj's that act like they are excited about the
insipid music they have to play.
(Oy veh, how could they listen to that crap...)
