Re: PARTY 103.3 Over/Under

No matter how any of us feel about what they've got going on they absolutely need to fix their site issues and fix the processing on their stream. I'm impressed he was able to pull in half a share but I wish they'd spend more time on their digital brand since that's how a good majority of his listen...

Re: PARTY 103.3 Over/Under

Yikes, they would have been better off to just change the brand name.

Re: RIP Gary Shores

Oh wow, I wish I knew about this! Someone posted a bunch of his stuff on ebay. Would have been great to put together a S&S tribute in our studio.

London Mitchell and Cliff Smithers paid tribute to Gary this morning on River Rat Country internet radio.

Re: RIP Gary Shores

Whoever is running the show at K100 should be ashamed of how they're handling this currently. Gary was the most recognizable Toledo personality in the last 2 decades, possibly more. The only one who is as recognizable is maybe Diane Larson from 13 or Jerry Anderson. Today probably wasn't the day for...

Re: Z93

ck in the day they were called Gold Based CHR stations. As far as the morning show goes they want mom and dad so having a morning show that speaks to them makes perfect sense. I wish them luck. My only argument to this is by speaking to moms and dads today, you're really speaking to older millennia...

Re: Z93

I was hoping for a station similar to 95.7 in GR - circa '14-'19. Reposition KHQ as the "kids station," take a stab at the 34-45 demo, and position directly between 96.3 and KHQ. I don't feel it sits between with the rhythmic songs they're playing but I'm open to being surprised! Either way, this up...

Oh wow, you're right, that is Corrie. She sounds so close to Stacie Bartro but it's obvious playing them next to each other. Good call!

Re: Z93

I could be wrong but I think Broadway took over programming. If that's true, 100% guaranteed they're rebranding, reimaging, and taking more than a half assed shot at KHQ. I've said it since I did mornings at KHQ (about 10 years ago), all 92.9 needed was some focused direction and we might be in trou...

Re: 105.5 WQQO Toledo

100% agree with you on every point. I've worked with Eric in the past, prior to his time with iHeart. I think if they went this direction and let him program the station the way it should be programmed it would be done extremely well. Cumulus just doesn't do CHR well at all, they never have, plus th...

Re: 105.5 WQQO Toledo

Hmmm this is interesting. Cumulus just flipped their CHR in Dallas to '90s and 2k. Even with Party 103.3 in the market, I could see this happening to WQQO. As much as I dislike Cumulus, mainly because of their half assed CHR attempt in every market, they typically do (used to do) well with adult for...

Re: 107.7 The Wolf Toledo All Christmas

I noticed this too. My first thought is since they're still running Wolf sweepers, they'll most likely be back to format after the holiday. The pop Christmas is a bit of a head scratcher.

Re: Is the Party already over?

Interesting! So, I had this happen with one of my internet stations. I run Towpath Radio, River Rat Country, and Sweet 419 internet stations out of GR, Ohio. When I launched Sweet 419 it was originally called Throwback 419, but I ended up w/ a C&D from the guy who runs Throwback Nation. Lesson learn...

Re: PARTY 103.3 Over/Under

Correct, I believe when they actually launched they were much more contemporary and went directly at Kiss. I think the version we see in that spot would have been a hit on 101.5 and 105.5 (at the time). I could be wrong, but I recall them coming out of the gate with dance leaning CHR. It was a cool ...
