Re: 95.7 = ratings disgrace

It's sad when the most interesting thing on your station in years is your AM talent almost dying because he can't run.

Re: Terri DeBoer: exiting once again

Plus, Congress is only in session about 150 days a year (usually 3 days a week Tue-Thu) so there's still plenty of time to see far away relatives for a few days. The breaks in the schedule aren't supposed to be off days for Congress, they're all intentionally built in on so that reps can be working ...

WLHT down to one local talent.

Laura Hardy exits leaving the station with only Flounder as the single local talent on the station.

What a fall from the height of talents like Dave & Jeri and Connie & Fish. Strange that TSQ has simply given up in this market other than with WGRD.

Re: Mojo

His time at WGPR was legendary and that Prince interview was an amazing get back then. Prince was notoriously media shy back then.

I had no idea he was still bopping around. But good for him on this recognition. Long overdue.

Re: WFGR flipping?

If TSQ cannot monetize that, they should find better salespeople. You hit the nail on the head. Their teams are selling website management and digital ads. They are not monetizing the on-air product as a priority. Even when a business wants to spend $$$ on GRD, they have a salesperson selling them ...

...I bet you he continues to grow doing podcasting and independent media.

Good riddance corporate media.
He works for the biggest radio media group in the world friendo, he's corporate media to the core. That's why his positions shift with the wind, there's no backbone as a shill.

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares for April

It's outstandingly bad how 95.7 and 107.3 are performing. It's really unbelievable that anyone would pay any salaries on these frequencies at this point. Plug in a satellite and call it a day.

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps

WLHT's good showing is noteworthy, however, as that normally would be one of the stations arguably most susceptible to hemorrhaging share to Star, CSG and TRV during the holiday season. My wife can not stand Christmas Music so we ended up with WLHT on quite a bit during December, I will say that ...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs

Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough I know there aren't many six figure PDs, but if he's not already there TSM should seriously consider it as GRD's revenue potential more than warrants it. The key word there is potential, the TSM sales team has the worst broadcast conversion rate in ...
