John Wetherbee
For those of us from Cincinnati radio and TV.. John Wetherbee died this week... https://ramp247.com/formats/newstalksports/remembering-john-wetherbee/ I worked with him at Taft.. and we talked on a regular basis. A few years ago, we had a cup of coffee while he was in town, and I swear I talked to h...

Re: Stream 419 app
It's about giving listeners another localized option. Localized? What is that? Are you playing local bands? Towpath Radio is one of the few options for local Grand Rapids Ohio merchants and businesses to market directly to local customers. And it must be working.. those advertisers renew on a regul...

Re: Stream 419 app
It’s too bad that this guy is in the business, radio doesn’t need people like Mark Elliott and he doesn’t deserve to be in the business because he is the reason radio is where it’s at today. And you got all that from one post on a internet billboard where I'm the only one with balls enough to use m...

Re: Stream 419 app
Nice little app. The giant problem is way too many commercials. I tried the Oldies Channel and immediately got hit with 10 commercials in a row. I’m on a data plan and actually prefer something commercial free. And now you see why radio in general is in trouble. Do you think that we, as broadcaster...

Re: Toledo Radio Ratings August 2023
I thank you for the nice words. I do have a question, though. If Nielsen Audio shares are only comprised of radio listening, why are diary keepers asked to record multiple modes of audio entertainment consumption? Look at the sample diary entries at the below link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&s...

Re: Toledo Radio Ratings August 2023
Another rock solid ratings book for WIOT. Also of note, K100 earned its best beauty pageant result in quite some time with a 10.6 share, and WRQN looks solid, too. Elsewhere: - Kiss is sagging but still looks respectable - Q105 is below a 2 share (as is 94.9) - Hardly anyone listens to AM radio in ...

Re: Country Imaging?
Benztown provides the stations with the plug in play shells, yes. But, that service also provides them with all the work parts to do creative imaging on their own. I understand that K100 may not have the facilities to make the zips and zaps, but they can create their own imaging elements without us...

Re: Country Imaging?
They have purchased a service where the sweepers/promos are pre produced. Then they take their vo guy and plugged in their call letters. It’s extremely vanilla. It’s the same sweeper. Same copy. But different voice. I understand why a small station would do this, but K100 should do better. Cumulus ...

Re: WWMK 106.3 Now All Christmas, WLXT 96.3 Will Start On Saturday
WLIT throughout 2022 saw some of its best non-seasonal A25 to 54 numbers in ages, frequently besting WTMX and nearly everyone else. Yes, the numbers rise to insanely high levels around Christmas, but throughout the year that is currently a strong performing station. You're paying more attention tha...

Re: WWMK 106.3 Now All Christmas, WLXT 96.3 Will Start On Saturday
I would be curious though to see if these flips to Christmas music still appeals to their core demographic. I'm sure there are a good portions of their respective listeners who feel alienated and ended up changing the dial. Granted we have satellite radio, USB drives, etc, that isn't the point. In ...

The Blitz in Columbus fires the morning show
American Broadcasting Active Rock WRKZ (99.7 The Blitz)/Columbus, OH has parted ways with Loper and Randi in the Morning. No other details are available at this time Columbus Ohio listeners are pissed, at least on social media. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1086073388948180/ Boycotting the Blitz....

Re: Enough lies from the Guru Guy
As an actual broadcaster, I'd like to answer the question above: At what point do the local TV stations stop taking the money for his campaigns advertisements; and say "Sorry, we're journalists, and these are lies?"

I'm not an engineer, but I still maintain there's no such thing as a directional FM signal. I've never seen one in forty years. https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/the-omni-vs-directional-fm-antenna The use of directional arrays in FM broadcasting has increased greatly in 30 years.

Re: Dan Bongino to replace Rush Limbaugh's 12-3 time slot
Actually, your headline is misleading. Dan Bongino is Westwood One (owned by Cumulus) while Rushbo was Premiere (owned by iHeart). Bongino will replace Rush ONLY on Cumulus owned stations for now (and other non-iHearts that they can convince to take it). iHeart has not made a decision on "replacing"...
