Re: Jammin' Oldies
In Cleveland, late 90s, AMFM tried Jammin' Oldies, going up against powerhouse oldies WMJI. Flipped less than 18 months later. Oldies then different than "Classic Hits" now, much of which is classic rock. So, I think a Jammin Oldies can do well, wouldn't be sharing (much) with WOMC.

The WRIF PD should be on that.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS
They put Dave and Chuck on a classic rock station in Tampa. It's been 98.7 The Shark since 2018. I've heard the show down there once. That station isn't really tearing it up with a 3.2 rating. They are on another classic rock station in Boston, which is at 2.1 rating. Based on that it seems Beasley...

FTC bans non-competes
This is big, especially for those in media.

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...

Too bad 98.7 in Detroit's corporate overlords refuse to make a similar level of investment.
