Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?

There's so much more out there...it drives me nuts that WRIF and WCSX, being sister stations, practically share a playlist these days. I understand why to a degree. If you missed "Sweet child o' mine" on WRIF, just flip to their sister station WCSX and hear it again in five minutes. There's a quest...

Re: WLLZ Continues Doing It

A rock station where 80% or more of the playlist is from 1993 to 2008, with 10% pre-1993 and 10% post-2008, would sound great, in my opinion. As you know CR target is 45+. If 18 in 1980, 62yrs old, If 18 1989, 53yrs old, 18 in 1995, 47 yrs old. I submit... 70s 15% (primarily 75-79) 80s 70% 90s 15% ...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?

re: tight playlists. It's the old adage... "you play the same shit over and over", but it's about (unfortunately) programming to not lose the listeners you have, rather than gaining new ones. Yes, there's a helluva lot of classic rock that can be played, even hits, but that's why there's music testi...

It is nice to see a full air staff, who I presume is based in northern Ohio.

Too bad 98.7 in Detroit's corporate overlords refuse to make a similar level of investment.
107-3, and it's staff, all located at Rubber City Radio's Akron studios.

Re: Detroit Airplay of Alice Cooper's New Album

Old Uncle Fred (Jacobs) the so called godfather and inventor of all things classic rock, always makes it a point to say "We don't play new releases by classic artists" Documented the first classic rock, with CR even in the positioning statement, was M105/Cleveland, 1980.

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: Cool article about WRIF's voiceover guy

Pete is cool dude. Worked as Production Director in Boston for over 20 years, mostly WEEI. His imaging gave the station it's identity, along of course with the sports.
