We’ve all been to Market. We’ve all enjoyed Market’s wide variety of food choices: from chicken and rice, to stir-fry, to the new soft-serve ice cream. But have you ever sat down in the middle section, between the pasta/pizza station and stir-fry station—the section with all the TVs—and focused your attention to the music featured on said televisions?
The University of Pittsburgh uses Campus Nation Network for music and advertising. If you look at most televisions in campus buildings, you will probably be watching Campus Nation. Pitt isn’t the only college campus around the nation who uses the advertising service. Check out their website for more information!
Anyway, I decided to focus my attention to the TVs in Market on a Monday afternoon. My goal was to take note on the type of music they played. Here are the results:
